What (who) is absorption of heat - definition
WAY IN WHICH THE ENERGY OF A PHOTON IS TAKEN UP BY MATTER; PHYSICAL PROCESS OF ABSORBING LIGHT, WHILE ABSORBANCE DOES NOT ALWAYS MEASURE ABSORPTION: IT MEASURES ATTENUATION (OF TRANSMITTED RADIANT POWER)
Molecular absorption; Absorption of Light; Optical absorption; Absorption (optics); Absorption (light); Absorption of electromagnetic radiation; Light absorption; Absorption (of electromagnetic radiation); Absorption of light; Radiation absorption

Absorption (acoustics)
TRANSFER OF SOUND ENERGY INTO INTERNAL ENERGY OF THE ABSORBER
Sound absorption; Acoustic insulator
Acoustic absorption refers to the process by which a material, structure, or object takes in sound energy when sound waves are encountered, as opposed to reflecting the energy. Part of the absorbed energy is transformed into heat and part is transmitted through the absorbing body.

VII. Heat ·noun Utmost violence; rage; vehemence; as, the heat of battle or party.
VIII. Heat ·vt To excite ardor in; to rouse to action; to excite to excess; to inflame, as the passions.
IX. Heat ·vt To make hot; to communicate heat to, or cause to grow warm; as, to heat an oven or furnace, an iron, or the like.
X. Heat ·noun A single complete operation of heating, as at a forge or in a furnace; as, to make a horseshoe in a certain number of heats.
XI. Heat ·vi To grow warm or hot by the action of fire or friction, ·etc., or the communication of heat; as, the iron or the water heats slowly.
XII. Heat ·vi To grow warm or hot by fermentation, or the development of heat by chemical action; as, green hay heats in a mow, and manure in the dunghill.

In its nature heat is a mode if motion, being in general a form of molecular disturbance or vibration. It was formerly supposed to be a subtile, imponderable fluid, to which was given the name caloric.

Wikipedia
Absorption (electromagnetic radiation)
In physics, absorption of electromagnetic radiation is how matter (typically electrons bound in atoms) takes up a photon's energy — and so transforms electromagnetic energy into internal energy of the absorber (for example, thermal energy). A notable effect is attenuation, or the gradual reduction of the intensity of light waves as they propagate through a medium. Although the absorption of waves does not usually depend on their intensity (linear absorption), in certain conditions (optics) the medium's transparency changes by a factor that varies as a function of wave intensity, and saturable absorption (or nonlinear absorption) occurs.
Examples of use of absorption of heat
1. "In high concentrations, aerosols can affect air quality, visibility and human health, and their reflectivity and absorption of heat in the long term can affect the Earth‘s climate." CloudSat, followed 15 seconds later by CALIPSO, will be the second and third satellites in the A–Train "constellation" of Earth observation satellites led by NASA‘s Aqua and including France‘s PARASOL and NASA‘s Aura.
