what is the difference between heat and temparature ?

Question

heat & temparature ?

Answer 1

Temperature is a scientific measurement. Heat is the human experience of how we experience that temperature.

Answer 2

Heat is the energy that's in matter. It's the state of excitement of atoms- less excitement, less heat. No energy at all is absolute zero, which has never been reached but we've measured very close to it. Temperature is how much energy is present at any given moment. Various scales have been devised to represent temperature: Farenheit, Celsius, Rankin, Kelvin. Like dark is the absence of light, cold is the absence of heat. That's why we measure light and heat and intelligence, not darkness and coldness and ignorance because they are not things.

Answer 3

The end of a blowtorch has a very high temperature but does not generate a lot of heat. 50 people running on treadmills does not produce a very high temperature but does produce a lot of heat. Heat is a type of energy and temperature is a measurement.

Answer 4

Heat is the total (kinetic) energy of an object. Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the component molecules. So, a bathtub full of water can have more total energy than a lit match, without burning you.


And how is this under psychology?
It has to do with basic Physics- definitions.

Answer 5

Heat is basically a form of energy. Temperature is a measurement of how much heat energy there is.

Answer 6

temperature can be hot or cold where as heat is only hot

Answer 7

What J.D. said ...
