What is the difference between heat and temperature?

Answer 1

Temperature is a measurement as in degrees whereas heat is a perception such as you feel heat being put off by something. You can tell something is hot but then you have to actually measure the temperature of it.

Answer 2

Heat is amount of energy or work done .
Temperature is measurement of how hot it is.

Another example is a small gas lighter and gas stove.
Both lighter and stove can produce high temperature as they use same gas of butane. But a small lighter cannot be used for cooking because it does not have enough energy.

In order for the heat transfer to take place between two objects , they must have different temperature. Once their temperature became the same, heat transfer will stop.

Heat = Energy or work done
Temperature = power or Force

So, time is required to transform between these two.

Answer 3

Temperature is a measurement of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in an object or system and can be measured with a thermometer or a calorimeter. It is a means of determining the internal energy contained within the system.
Temperature is measured in degrees.

Heat is a form of energy which transfers among particles in a substance by means of kinetic energy of those particle. In other words, under kinetic theory, the heat is transferred by particles bouncing into each other.

In physical equations, the amount of heat transferred is usually denoted with the symbol Q.

Temperature is a measure of the internal energy of the system, while heat is a measure of how energy is transferred from one system (or body) to another. The greater the heat absorbed by a material, the more rapidly the atoms within the material begin to move, and thus the greater the rise in temperature.

Answer 4

There is a fundamental difference between temperature and heat. Heat is the amount of energy in a system. The SI units for heat are Joules. A Joule is a Newton times a meter. A Newton is a kilogram-meter per second squared. Heat is transferred through radiation, conduction and convection. The amount that molecules are vibrating, rotating or moving is a direct function of the heat content. Energy is transported by conduction as molecules vibrate, rotate and/or collide into each other. Heat is moved along similar to dominos knocking down their neighbors in a chain reaction. An increase of electromagnetic radiation into a system causes the molecules to vibrate, rotate and/or move faster. With convection, higher energy molecules are mixed with lower energy molecules. When higher energy molecules are mixed with lower energy molecules the molecular motion will come into equilibrium over time. The faster moving molecules will slow down and the slow moving molecules will speed up.

Temperature is the MEASURE of the AVERAGE molecular motions in a system and simply has units of (degrees F, degrees C, or K). Notice that one primary difference between heat and temperature is that heat has units of Joules and temperature has units of (degrees F, degrees C, or K). Another primary difference is that energy can be transported without the temperature of a substance changing (e.g. latent heat, ice water remains at the freezing point even as energy is brought into the ice water to melt more ice). But, as a general statement (ignoring latent heat), as heat energy increases, the temperature will increase. If molecules increase in vibration, rotation or forward motion and pass that energy to neighboring molecules, the measured temperature of the system will increase.

Answer 5

Heat is the amount of energy/calories inside an object, measured in Joule or Kal.
While temperature is the willingness of an object to give heat to other object and measured in Celsius, Kelvin or Fahrenheit.

40 Celsius 1 kg water have more heat than 60 Celsius 1 kg iron, but the iron will give some of its heat to the water, anyway.

Answer 6

Heat is the average kinetic energy of all the molecules of the matter. The temperature is the unit to measure heat.

Answer 7

Heat is energy. Temperature is a measure of the heat energy that an object has.

Answer 8

Heat is the sensation of hotness or coldness while temperature is the amount of kinetic energy supplied to a body by heating.If kinetic energy in the molecules is more than the the potential energy the body is warm but if the potential energy is more the body is cold.Hence temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness.

Answer 9

Heat is a type of energy by which an object gets heated or gets very energetic, due to it a body gets hot or heated up.
The temperature is that by which we find out the amount of heat present in a body or object. We can measure it usually by two types i.e., Celsius or farenheit etc.

Answer 10

Heat is another form of energy while temperature is the method of measuring heat.
