I would say that it is Meteors, Meteorites, and comets. (METEORS may be wrong)
Like a lot of other things, (gravity, sound, electrostatic force), brightness also decreases as the square of the distance.
When the source moves to a new position that's 4 times as far away, its apparent brightness becomes (1/4^2) its original value.
That's 1/16 .

here's what you require:
The mass of the material,
m
The temperature change that occurs,
Δ
T
The specific heat capacity of the material,
c
This is the amount of heat required to raise 1 gram of that substance by 1°C.
The heat will increase
