Average kinetic energy of a system
In measuring the temperature of air, what is really being measured is the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules flying around.

Average kinetic energy of a system. Tempature is the measure of heat in an area. And without kinetic energy you cant produce heat because of the molecules that are moved and shifted by the moving flow of energy.

Average kinetic energy of a system.
This is different from the total kinetic energy of a system (heat).

temperature is the measure of average kinetic energy.

Temperature is a measurement of the speed of the molecules of a substance.
If that doesn't tell you, then get ready to fail; as well you should. Or, you can study and ACTUALLY LEARN. How's that for a revolutionary idea?

kinetic since it is "stored" as movement of molecules and it is transmitted by collisions.
