It’s hot means something feels warm or very warm, just like when you touch a stove.
Why It Feels Hot
How We Know Something Is Hot
You can tell if something is hot by touching it. If your hand feels like it’s burning after a few seconds, that means it’s very hot. Like when you touch a toaster or a pot on the stove, they feel hot because they have lots of energy inside them.
Hot Things Can Change Other Things
Hot things can also change other things. If you put ice in a hot cup, the ice melts and turns into water, just like when you put your cold drink near a heater, it warms up really fast!
So next time something feels hot, remember: it’s giving off warmth that you can feel, just like the sun!
Examples
- The neighborhood pool is too hot to swim in.
- The ice cream melted before it could be eaten.
