Question

What is the difference between sensible heat and latent heat?

Answer 1

Sensible heat	Latent heat
Sensible heat is defined as the amount of heat or energy required to change the temperature of the substance without changing the phase of the substance.	At a constant temperature, during phase transition, the amount of heat absorbed or released is called latent heat.
It can be defined as a system that does not shows the phase transition.	It can be defined as a system that shows the phase transition.
It describes as the exchange of energy between matter and its surroundings.	It describes the changes that occur in the internal energy of the system.
It is related to the system with a constant temperature.	It is related to the system with variable temperature change.
For example: Increasing the temperature of water from${10}^{\circ }\mathrm{C}\mathrm{to}{100}^{\circ }\mathrm{C}$, therefore this implies that water without changing to water vapour reaches this temperature.	Example: Boiling water: when enough amount of thermal energy is given to water then the change in temperature of the water expands the liquid to form water vapours.
