Hi all,
The way I understand it is that temperature is a measure of the random kinetic of molecules and atoms.
When you heat something up, eventually it will start to emit visible light once it gets hot enough. When a macroscopic object is moving through a vacuum however, why does it not glow like a heated object does, even if moving at high speeds?
