Everyday Examples of Heat Energy. Here are some examples of heat energy. 1  The biggest example of heat energy in our solar system is the sun itself. 2  The sun radiates heat to warm us up one the planet earth. 3  When the burner of a stovetop is very hot, it is a source of heat energy.
Measures of Heat. Temperature is a measure of the average translational kinetic energy of the molecules of a system. Heat is commonly expressed in either of two units: the calorie, an older metric unit, and the British thermal unit (Btu), an English unit commonly used in the United States. Scientists express heat in terms of the joule, a unit used for all forms of energy. As heat is added to a substance in the solid state, the molecules of the substance gain kinetic energy and the temperature of the substance rises. The amount of heat needed to raise a unit of mass of the substance one degree of temperature is called the specific heat of the substance.
