Summary
Thermal radiation is a ubiquitous aspect of nature, and this subject has developed for several centuries. In order to build a framework of macroscale thermal radiation, this chapter will give brief introductions of some fundamental theories and definitions of basic concepts of thermal radiation, such as blackbody radiation, radiative interactions at a surface, and radiative exchange between two or more surfaces. Besides, gas radiation as an important direction of thermal radiation will be introduced, including the molecular radiation theory, some gas spectral models, and some useful results in engineering applications.
