Can you explain why you feel warm when you are standing near a campfire? Why does a carpeted floor feel warmer to bare feet than tile or wood even though all surfaces are the same temperature? What information would you need in order to predict whether transfer of thermal energy would occur when two objects or materials interact? What would happen if a person who is wearing a heavy winter jacket were to place a thermometer inside the jacket next to his or her skin? What would happen if we took the same jacket, after it had been hanging in a closet, and placed a thermometer inside? ANSWER PLEASE AS MANY AS POINTS AS POSSIBLE

The light, being a wave, carries energy, so it can move from one place to another without requiring a medium. When this light reaches you, part of the energy of the wave gets converted back into heat, which is why you feel warm sitting beside a campfire.
