Temperature is a measure of the average speed that molecules move in a substance.

The faster the molecules move, the warmer the temperature. The slower the molecules move, the cooler the temperature.

Temperature is a physical property of a system that underlies the common notions of hot and cold; something that is hotter has the greater temperature. Temperature is one of the principal parameters of thermodynamics. The temperature of a system is defined as simply the average energy of microscopic motions of a single particle in the system.
