Difference between Heat and Temperature

Heat :

1. The energy of hotness and coldness of the body is called the heat

2. Heat is the total kinetic energy of all the particles in a body, i.e., it is the sum of the kinetic energies of each individual particle in the body.

3. Heat is that form of energy which flows from a hot body to a cold body when they are kept in contact.

4. The amount of heat inside the body depends on mass, temperature, and the nature of the body.

5. The body's heat is measured by the principle of calorimetry.

6. Two bodies with the same amount of heat may differ in temperature.

7. When two bodies are placed in contact, the total amount of heat is equal to the sum of the heat of the individual bodies.

8. The heat can only be a positive value.

9. The S.I. unit of heat is $joule (J)$.

Temperature:

1. The measurement of energy (i.e., average energy) of hotness and coldness of the body is called temperature.

2. The body's temperature is equal to the average kinetic energy of all the particles in the body.

3. Temperature is a parameter that determines the direction of the flow of heat while keeping the two bodies at different temperatures in contact.

4. The temperature of a body depends on the average motion of the particles.

5. The thermometer is used to measure the body's temperature.

6. Two bodies at the same temperature may differ in the quantities of heat contained in them.

7. When two bodies having different temperatures are placed in contact, then the resultant temperature is a temperature between the two temperatures.

8. The temperature can be positive or negative value both.

8. The S.I. unit of temperature is $kelvin (K)$.
