Solution

  1. All the objects in the universe radiate heat to some extent.
  2. And the amount of heat radiated depends on the three factors,
    (a) Colour and texture of the surface- Dark surface radiates more heat ad black colour is the best radiator.
    (b) Surface temperature- The higher the temperature of the body the greater the amount of radiation emitted.
    (c) Surface area- The object with a large surface area will absorb more radiation.

Hence, all objects radiate heat but the amount of heat radiated from an object depends on its colour, temperature and surface area.
