| Radiation | The transfer of energy by the movement of electromagnetic waves subatomic particle. |
| System | A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a complex whole. |
| Temperature | Average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material; measured By thermometer in degrees (usually degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit) |
