Generated explanation

The illustration shows a person seated on a log facing an outdoor wood fire. Wavy arrows indicate radiant heat traveling from the flames toward the person. A large curved arrow behind the person represents cold air drawn toward the fire to support combustion, creating a breeze across the person's back. The diagram contrasts direct radiant warming with the cooling effect of incoming combustion air.
