We have all noticed that when you heat something up, its temperature rises. Often we think that heat and temperature are the same thing. However, this is not the case. Heat and temperature are related to each other, but are different concepts. Heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance while temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance. Heat energy depends on the speed of the particles, the number of particles (the size or mass), and the type of particles in an object. Temperature does not depend on the size or type of object. For example, the temperature of a small cup of water might be the same as the temperature of a large tub of water, but the tub of water has more heat because it has more water and thus more total thermal energy.
It is heat that will increase or decrease the temperature. If we add heat, the temperature will become higher. If we remove heat the temperature will become lower. Higher temperatures mean that the molecules are moving, vibrating and rotating with more energy. If we take two objects which have the same temperature and bring them into contact, there will be no overall transfer of energy between them because the average energies of the particles in each object are the same. But if the temperature of one object is higher than that of the other object, there will be a transfer of energy from the hotter to the colder object until both objects reach the same temperature. Temperature is not energy, but a measure of it. Heat is energy
in short heat is the cause and temperature it's effect.........

∙ 13y agotemperature is a measurement of heat however you could probably measure the amount of heat coming off of something in watts and based on how much something has been heated by the source

Is temperature different than heat?
Yes, quite different. . . . .Temperature is used to measure heat.
Why is heat different from temperature?
temperature can be cold
How is heat different from temperature and thermal energy?
It is heat which is measured by a temperature scale.
Is temperature and heat the same thing or are they different?
they are different. temperature is the movement of particles. heat is the movement of temperature from place to place. temperature are the moving particles, heat is the movement of those particles from a place to a place.
How are heat and temperture different?
heat is considered a position of higher temperature.... Temperature on the hand is only a measure of a heat condition
Can two body at same temperature have different heat?
Yes. Heat is energy temperature is not, E1 =k1T and E2 = k2T the temperatures are the same but the heat is different because K1 is different from k2.
How will heat move when two areas are of different temperatures?
Heat will will move from an object of higher temperature to an object of lower temperature
Temperature and heat are different but related blank properties?
Physical
Why same amount of heat supplied to same amount of different substances does not produce the same increase in temperature?
There is a formula in physics ΔQ=m*c*ΔT, where m is the mass of the substance you are heating, ΔQ is the heat you supply to the substance, c is the specific heat which has a different value for different substances and ΔT is the change in temperature. If your substances are different and they have the same mass then by supplying the same amount of heat the change in temperature will be different.
How is temperature diffrent from heat?
Heat is the cause and temperature is the effect. Heat is energy but temperature is outcome of storage of such heat energy in a body. If same amount of heat is given to the same mass of water and aluminium, then temperature will be more in aluminium but less in water. This is similar to the collecting air in different containers. Air is equivalent to heat and pressure created is equivalent to temperature.
The movement of thermal energy from a substance at one temperature to a substance at a different temperature is called?
heat
What is the different between heat and temperature?
Heat is thermal energy. Temperature is the measurement of average kinetic energy of the particles which compose the matter being tested. Temperature is a relative measure of how hot or cold something is measured on a scale. Temperature is a measure of how much heat energy an object has.
