cars use a mixture of water and antifreeze or ethylene glycol to help cool your cars engine this mixture is pumped though your cars engine from the radiator where it is cooled by the passing of wind though the "slats" into the engine by what is called a water pump the cooled liquid then cools the engine an engine can over heat many different the first and easiest way is that there is not enough of this mixture in the radiator the next way an engine can over heat if the fan behind the radiator (if electric) does not turn on while the engine is hot and not moving (at a stop light persay) the next way an engine can over heat is is the water pump is "broken" and not pumping this mixture into the engine there are still many more ways an engine can over heat i suggest you consult your local mechanic for more help
