Best Answer

Heat is a form of energy. The energy is tied to the molecules of the object. The faster the molecules in an object vibrate, the more heat energy it contains and therefore the more hotter it is.

By measuring the amount of vibration in an objects molecules, you can calculate how hot it is.
