What is temperature?
Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is;specifically, a measure of the average kinetic energy of theparticles in an object, which is a type of energy assoc…iated withmotion. But how hot is hot, and how cold is cold? The terms hot andcold are not very scientific terms. If we really want to specifyhow hot or cold something is, we must use temperature. Forinstance, how hot is melted iron? To answer that question, aphysical scientist would measure the temperature of the liquidmetal. Using temperature instead of words, like hot or cold,reduces confusion. (MORE)
