The atomic structure of ceramic accounts for its ability to retain heat due to the configuration of bound atoms or ions. They can absorb energy through physical collisions with molecules of another object or medium (air, water), or through direct absorption of radiant energy. In either case, the molecules then increase their velocity and the object of which they are a part are said to become hotter, having absorbed heat. The heat does not transfer easily to air and the molecules then increase their velocity and the object of which they are a part are said to become hotter, having absorbed heat.
The heat does not transfer easily to air so the transfer is held back b … y these pockets and the heat is retained in the contained liquid or material.

A ceramic heater as a consumer product is a space heater that generates heat using a heating element of PTC (Positive Temperature Coeffient) ceramic. Ceramic heaters are usually portable and typically used for heating a room or small office, and are similar to metal-element fan heaters To answer your question more generally, all colors absorb and reflect heat, however, different colors do it better or worse than others. Typically, lighter colors reflect more heat and darker colors absorb more heat. If you've even worn a black shirt on a hot day, you'll notice this. So, yes: blue does absorb heat. However, as you know, there are many shades of blue. Darker blues will absorb more heat (royal blue for example) and lighter blues will absorb less heat (baby blue). A general rule of thumb is: the darker the color, the more heat that color will absorb. Best Answer: Metal absorbs heat the most, then glass, and then plastic. The reason metal absorbs heat better is because it is made from metallic elements, which are better conductors of heat/electricty, plus metals are generally denser so that is also a contributing factor. Metal takes a lot of heat to melt, much more intense heats than to melt plastic or glass, which is why it used for cookware, etc. Basically metal can absorb the most heat because it can withstand the most heat, out of the three, while staying physically intact (as a solid in the same shape, etc.). Heat and light are both different types of energy. Light energy can be converted into heat energy. A black object absorbs all wavelengths of light and converts them into heat, so the object gets warm. A white object reflects all wavelengths of light, so the light is not converted into heat and the temperature of the object does not increase noticeably. Different wavelengths (colors) of light have different amounts of energy. Violet light has more energy than red light The color blue does absorb heat. In general, the more light an object absorbs, the more heat absorbed since light is energy. Black absorbs the most heat. A black object absorbs all wavelengths of light and reflects none. So, yes: blue does absorb heat. However, as you know, there are many shades of blue. Darker blues will absorb more heat (royal blue for example) and lighter blues will absorb less heat (baby blue). A general rule of thumb is: the darker the color, the more heat that color will absorb. Floor tiles absorb heat raoidly. This means that if you stand in bare feet on tiles, a lot of heat is drawn out of your foot. A carpe,t in comparison, absorbs heat slowly. This makes floor tiles feel colder that a carpet when they are actually the same temperature. The roof is responsible for most of your heat loss, up to half of it in some places, and the walls can do away … with almost a quarter of your entire heat generation. Check that you have adequate insulation in your house, both in the roof (like batting) and in the walls (filling and batting again). A ceramic is an inorganic, nonmetallic solid material comprising metal, nonmetal or metalloid atoms primarily held in ionic and covalent bonds. The crystallinity of ceramic materials ranges from highly oriented to semi-crystalline, and often completely amorphous (e.g., glasses). The word  ceramic comes from the Greek word κεραμικός (keramikos), of pottery or for pottery, from κέραμος (keramos), potter's clay, tile, pottery.
