What is a heater purpose in car?

The heater in a car's purpose is to warm the air inside the passenger compartment. This is achieved by using engine coolant (hot water/antifreeze mixture) to heat a heat exchanger (the heater core) which warms the air blown by the car's fan. The warm air is then circulated through vents to keep the occupants comfortable, especially in cold weather.
