Why is an Electric Bulb hot to touch when it has been switched on for a while ?

When light is switched, the filament glows, emitting heat.

That heat would fall on the glass that protect the filament, thus becomes heated.

So when we touch the bulb when it is switched on for a while we would feel hot.
