There were derived many forms of the Planck distribution function (PDF) since its discovery by Planck in 1900 and formulae for the positions of Wien´s peaks in those distributions. There were published many attempts searching for the hidden carriers of heat because the existing known heat effects of photons cannot interpret all observed data. In this presented model we work with concept of fission of one Solar photon into two thermons – the missing carriers of heat. Properties of Solar photons and Solar thermons are compared for the surface of the Sun and in the vicinity of the Earth. Solar thermons obey the Stefan-Boltzmann law and their heat action can be experimentally analyzed in the whole volume of the Solar System. One of those effects can explain the microwave background radiation as the reflection of thermons on the surface of the Termination shock. The measure of the quantity of heat S for thermons is constant in agreement with the Carnot´s model. The specific heat of solids was newly interpreted as the joint action of three types of thermons with frequency ν/2, ν, and 2ν. The ratio of these three thermons can be experimentally determined from infrared spectra of those studied solids. This model could bring a new way to better describe the old, predicted concept of “dark heat” as appeared many times in the historical literature. We have summarized the known forms of the PDF and positions of Wien´s peaks in order to search some hidden properties in those mathematical structures. It will be shown that these very well-known formulae to all scholars might still keep some hidden surprising properties.
