True...

Technically, yes. The faster the particles move, the more heat they give off. So therefore, when we actually take a temperature, it is in theory, the measrue of the speed of the particles.

Improvement:

Temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of the particles in a particular substance. Kinetic energy is associated with the speed of particles by KE=(1/2)mv2. Particles do not technically 'give off heat' when they move since by laws of thermodynamics heat is a transfer of energy between substances and the term does not apply in this circumstance.

It measures the kinetic energy, how much and with how much momentum they're moving around.

How do you mesure extreme temperatures?

Depending on the heat emitted by a body, the colour of the body varies. by mapping the colour of a body to the standard scales, the temperature of the body can be determined. The temperature of sun is determined in this manner.
