Heat on a microscopic scale is the average kinetic energy of whatever particles are involved; these particles could be atoms, could be molecules, or could be sub-atomic. The kinetic energy in question could be in the form of vibration or could be linear motion. Any kind of motion relates to heat. Fast moving particles are hot, slow moving particles are cold.
Simply put, heat is made out of energy, which is the stuff that makes molecules and atoms move. Heat is defined as the amount of energy that is transferred between two systems.
If it will help you conceptually, imagine heat as some sort of fluid flowing through matter. Heat will always flow from areas of high concentration to low concentration (much like fluids), the amount of which cannot be created or destroyed unless through nuclear reactions (like fluids, but chemical reactions) and while it is theoretically possible to have a space where there is no heat whatsoever, it is very hard to obtain such a state.
There are also different types of heat: Work and Thermal. Work is pretty much heat on a macroscopic scale like mixing things and changing the pressure. And thermal heat is the temperature of the thing where the heat can be observed (well, you can't really see it happening unless you had a giant SEM) in a sub-microscopic scale in the vibrations of molecules.
it is when the motion of atoms and molecules creates a form of energy called heat where the molecules and atoms are moving VERY fast bouncing off each other producing heat.

Heat proof mat use?
A heat proof mat is used in science when doing an experiment with fire or hot liquids. It is to protect the surface that the experiment is being made on
What are facts about candles?
they can be made of wax, tallow (fat), paraffin (which is what most candles are made of), or plastic and paraffin. They are a source of light and heat. The wick of the candle is light to provide light/heat, and is made of string, cord, or wood.
Why is a base of a scaucepan made of metal?
It is made of metal because metal is the best conductor of heat.
Is a cable cover a good heat conductor?
Not usually. They tend to be made of plastic material. They will melt but do not conduct heat well
How heat is made?
Heat is made by 2 forces of friction rubbing together to make warmth.
What is heat reclaim?
Heat in the area, Heat made by a compressure or condenser to heat other stuff like a heater or heat water or heat air, Again heat made by the compressure or condenser to heat a area!
Are the stars heat?
No. Stars are made primarily of hydrogen and helium. They produce enormous amounts of heat but are not made of heat.
How is human heat made?
human heat is made by rubbing your hands together or your arms
Is the sun made of heat?
The sun PRODUCES heat instead of making heat.
When you heat an object up what happens to the atomsmolecules that it is made of?
when you heat an object up what happene to the atomsmolecules that it is made of?
What is the heat of the core caused by?
the heat form the core is made by Atoms.
Is plastic a bad conductor of heat?
plastic is a bad conductor of heat because it is made up of different man made material's.
What makes heat?
Heat is made when the temperature changes and the oxygen in the air becomes warmer.
What is a good heat conductor?
Copper and aluminum. Most heat sinks are made of Aluminum (cheap and a good conductor of heat).
What material is made out of heat and pressure?
diamonds
What gas is made when you heat water?
wateroxide
