Yes, warmth can move through all matter, but some materials may allow heat to pass through more easily than others. Solids such as metals are generally better conductors of heat compared to insulating materials like wood or plastic. Liquids and gases can also transfer heat through convection. Ultimately, the ability of a material to conduct heat depends on its thermal conductivity.

How does space tell matter how to move?
Space tells matter how to move through the force of gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force that exists between all objects with mass, and it influences the motion of matter by pulling objects towards each other. This force of gravity is what governs the movement of planets, stars, and other celestial bodies in space.
What matter does not move?
No matter or energy does not move. usually, frozen matter tends to move slower than warmer substances because if you heat up something, the atoms move more rapidly, moving into each other. If you do the opposite to that something, the atoms will slow down. -kos
What are four ways that light interacts with matter?
Light can be absorbed by matter, causing electrons to move to higher energy levels. It can be scattered in all directions, such as when it hits gas molecules in the atmosphere. Light can also be transmitted through matter, allowing it to pass through materials like glass or water. Finally, light can be reflected off surfaces, changing its direction without being absorbed.
Both mechanical waves and EM waves interact with a change in what?
All waves move energy, not matter. All waves are created by vibrations. Mechanical waves are caused by vibrating matter such as vocal chords or a drum. EM waves are created by vibrating electrons in atoms that propogate through the electric and magnetic fields that exist everywhere in the universe. All waves can reflect, refract. and diffract. This is where the similarities end. Both types of waves interact with matter and experience a change in velocity but do not interact with each other. Mechanical waves require matter as a medium through which to travel, they don't travel through a vacum. EM waves travel best through a vacum and lose energy as they move into more dense matter. All waves refract when they change velocity as they move from one medium into another, like air into water. Remember, there are some similarities amongst all types of waves, EM, mechanical, surface, and siesmic, but their behaviors are quite varied and complex.
Can light travel through all states of matter?
Yes, light can travel through all states of matter - solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. However, the speed and interaction of light can vary based on the medium it is traveling through.
