Referring to the general topic of thermodynamics, I have been having trouble understanding the difference between heat and temperature. I know that the difference between these two were mentioned in lecture, but hopefully I can get some further explanation.
Also is it relevant to be familiar with the difference?

Re: Heat v. Temperature
I actually have the same question^^ can someone clarify the differences and how they it is applied?

Re: Heat v. Temperature
Hi! To be honest, I am not a hundred percent sure, but I think heat is the transfer of energy between two objects due to the difference in temperature. Heat would have to multiple systems. Temperature itself is measuring the energy itself, such as how fast the molecules are moving and the random movement of these particles. Temperature could be found within one system.

Re: Heat v. Temperature
Heat is the total energy of the motion of molecules in a substance while temperature is the average energy of the motion of molecules. In another sense, heat can be thought of as a form of energy that travels between objects while temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is.
Re: Heat v. Temperature
Heat can be considered as a measurement of change, almost like a unit to indicate that something within the reaction has been raised or lowered. Whereas temperature is the average energy of the matter, heat is the transfer of thermal energy from one place to another.

Hi,
Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic of particles in random motion.
Heat is the energy transferred from two systems of different temperature. Thus, heat is the change in energy unlike temperature.

Re: Heat v. Temperature
Temperature is the average kinetic energy of molecules within a system, and this is different from heat as it is not possessed by a system as it is thermal energy.

Re: Heat v. Temperature
From my understanding, temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of a system, while heat is a variable of process, which means it is a measurement of the change in energy from one system to another.

Re: Heat v. Temperature
Temperature is the average kinetic energy of molecules within a system compared to heat which is more or so the measurement of change.
