In radiative heat transfer, heat is transferred between bodies by electromagnetic radiation. In natural radiative heat transfer (that which happens when the electromagnetic radiation is generated naturally by heat), the spectrum of this radiation is that of a black body, and its power depends on the fourth power of the absolute temperature of the body.
