Temperature is an example of a "continuous" variable, so cold and hot do not start and stop at any point. An example of a "discontinuous" variable would be light switch--it is either on or off.

It all depends on you. I feel that 90 degrees F is hot. Folks in Alaska probably think 80 degrees is hot. It's all relative. Heat does not begin or end, it is more of a verb....an action. Cold of course would be cooling.

it is all relative. the temperatures of things vary and only the entitiy senisng them can make the subjective determination that they are either hot or cold. With humans, anything warmer than 98.6 degrees F seems warm and anyhting cooler seems cold.
penguins have a different idea nad like to warm themselves up on ice . to them it is a stove. it is all relative to the sensory apparatus of the being

It's a relative thing, but for humans, I'd say the midpoint is about 55 F.
