what are the differences between heat and temperature?

Question

according to physics

Answer 1

Heat is a form of energy (or a process in which the temperature is increased by the addition of heat energy).

Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a system.

Answer 2

Heat is thermal energy.
Temperature is the measurement of average kinetic energy of the particles which compose the matter being tested. When heat flows into a material, one of two things can happen -- the temperature of the material can rise, or there may be a change in state (such as from liquid to vapor).
Answer
The difference is heat is thermal energy transferred from one object to another because of a temperature difference, and temperature is a relative measure of how hot or cold something is measured on a scale, or the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance or object.
Answer
heat and temperature are very imoprtant
Think about the amount of water you pour into something, and how deep it gets
when it's in there. One gallon of water is pretty deep in a bucket, but one gallon
is not very deep in a swimming pool.

Heat is the amount of energy that's stored in an object or some quantity of a
substance. Temperature is how warm (deep) it becomes with that much energy
stored.

Answer 3

Heat is energy in the form of random jiggling motion. Temperature is a way to characterize which material has more heat per thing in it which can jiggle. If you have two lumps of iron at the same temperature and make them into one, then the temperature remains the same, while the heat content will double. So temperature is (very loosely speaking) sort of like a heat density. Though heat/volume is NOT temperature. Rather, heat/number of ways in which all the parts of a system can move is closer to the truth.

Heat flows from objects of higher temperature to lower temperature because the energy likes to be spread evenly among the various moveable tiny parts of a system.

Answer 4

Heat is energy , every mass has a capacity for heat ,which depends on its composition and mass. When you pour energy in an object its temperature rises .The less capacity for energy the more temperature rise . Temperature is the potential to give off heat energy . When a low mass object has a high temperature it likes to give off energy to the low temperature object beside it , although its energy content is less than the massive cold one .

Answer 5

Temperature is just the measurement of heat or cold compared to a certain scale. Heat is something that is measured by temperature.

Answer 6

You question is similar to asking the difference between distance and meters. Heat is what you are measuring. Temperature is the scale used to measure.

Answer 7

Heat is the energy associated with the random (thermalized) motion and internal excitation of particles in a system. Temperature is a parameter which, by convention, usually increases with increasing heat and becomes uniform within a system when it achieves thermal equilibrium (when internal heat transport ceases). It was originally defined phenomenologically in terms of a standard, such as the density of mercury. Its modern definition is more fundamental and requires basic knowledge of statistical mechanics to appreciate. It's the inverse of the partial derivation of entropy with reference to energy, holding volume constant. You multiply it by the Boltzman constant to convert it to the Kelvin scale. It follows from this definition that two bodies in thermal contact (but otherwise isolated from their environment) of different temperatures that exchange energy in a direction that makes their temperatures more uniform will result in an increase in entropy.

Answer 8

Heat is energy. Temperature is what you use to measure it. Temperature is also seen as a gradient that heat flows down.

Answer 9

Temperature is what you measure, liek 98 degrees.
Heat is the amount of energy given off. Like the sun gives off more heat than a log.

Answer 10

temperature is the way to measure the degree of heat..
