Temperature is a method of measure used to express (in degrees) the amount of heat present in a substance. Much like weight is a method of measure used to express (in lbs or ozs) density of Matter.

Temperature is the measure of how much heat energy is present compared to how much mass it is present in. For example, a match has a higher temperature than a large piece of wood, but that large piece of wood has more heat energy overall. So temperature could be viewed as the density of heat energy.

Is temperature and heat the same thing or are they different?

they are different. temperature is the movement of particles. heat is the movement of temperature from place to place. temperature are the moving particles, heat is the movement of those particles from a place to a place.

Can two body at same temperature have different heat?

Yes. Heat is energy temperature is not, E1 =k1T and E2 = k2T the temperatures are the same but the heat is different because K1 is different from k2.

Why same amount of heat supplied to same amount of different substances does not produce the same increase in temperature?

There is a formula in physics ΔQ=m*c*ΔT, where m is the mass of the substance you are heating, ΔQ is the heat you supply to the substance, c is the specific heat which has a different value for different substances and ΔT is the change in temperature. If your substances are different and they have the same mass then by supplying the same amount of heat the change in temperature will be different.


How is temperature diffrent from heat?

Heat is the cause and temperature is the effect. Heat is energy but temperature is outcome of storage of such heat energy in a body. If same amount of heat is given to the same mass of water and aluminium, then temperature will be more in aluminium but less in water. This is similar to the collecting air in different containers. Air is equivalent to heat and pressure created is equivalent to temperature.

What is the different between heat and temperature?

Heat is thermal energy. Temperature is the measurement of average kinetic energy of the particles which compose the matter being tested. Temperature is a relative measure of how hot or cold something is measured on a scale. Temperature is a measure of how much heat energy an object has.
