something can be cold temperature wise.. but still have heat... like snow.. its cold..right? but the molecules that make the snow are moving around...so it has heat. just about everything that is made of molecules....which is everything...gives off SOME amount of heat.. temperature on the other hand is how much heat is GIVEN OFF!!!! snow wont give off very much heat.. now if you put that snow in a pot and melt it...and it comes to a boil.. those molecules have warmed up so theyre moving a little faster..right?? well.. the more they move.. the more heat is given off. i hope i helped explain a little and give an example. good luck!!

Heat is the a form of energy that causes an entity to become hot (or cool down if heat is removed).
Temperature is just a measure of how hot or cold a body is.

Heat is a form of energy. It is caused by molecular motion. Temperature is the affect of heat on matter.

In simple terms, heat is a measure of the total kinetic energy of the molecules of a given quantity of matter, while temperature is a measure of the average speed of the molecules.

Ooh, a chem question, if only you'd asked me two years ago, lol. I know that Heat is a measure of how hot or cold something is, whereas temperature is the measure of the heat of the air around us.

Heat is the energy needed to excite molecular motion while temperature is the measurement of that energy.

Temperature is a number that is related to the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance. If temperature is measured in Kelvin degrees, then this number is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules.
Heat is a measurement of the total energy in a substance. That total energy is made up of not only of the kinetic energies of the molecules of the substance, but total energy is also made up of the potential energies of the molecules.

Temperature is a measurement.
and yes, heat is hot.

Heat is the movement of molecules, temperature is the measurement of the movement of molecules.

Heat is moleculues vibrating. Temeprature is the vibrating molecules causing the molecules of the measuing device to also vibrate causing the liquid to expand up a narrow tube. There are infrared thermometers which of course work differentl.
