No. And it is important to understand the difference. Heat is energy. Temperature is a measurement of molecular or atomic velocity. Why they are not the same requires some thinking-- An object can be very high temperature and have little heat. You've probably seen the space shuttle tiles on TV. They glow at thousands of degrees but have little heat (energy). The same is true of ashes used for fire-walking. Insulation generally has properties that might have a high temperature but posess very little heat energy. A very dense material can have a large amount of heat but not be very "hot". Water for example. On the edge of the atmosphere where molecules are far apart and can move very fast, the gas is defined as very high temperature (thousands of degrees!) but has virtually no heat energy.

It is very important to know this difference specially when you are trying to melt steell using a torch (oxigen and acetilen) the high temperatue allows you to melt this metal but only a small amont, if you want to melt more metal you need more torches, this means more heat not more temperature. Temperature=speed the atoms are moving. Heat= amount of energy in the materia.

∙ 15y agoHeat refers to something being hot whereas temperature can apply when it is cold. Heat is also energy that is released during reactions whereas temperature is measured as how hot or cold something is. This may be the difference between the two but they are also similar in the respect that temperature can be hot(heat). In a way, yes. Heat is a form of energy, but heat (hot) is also what you might call temperature. ~Jessica~ Heat is a transfer of thermal energy from one object to another that causes a difference in temperature. Heat is a transfer of thermal energy from one object to another that causes a difference in temperature. The amount of heat is transferred to different materials depends on the chemical makeup and the amount of the material. ~Patricia~

∙ 14y agoNo, the units for measuring heat and temperature are not the same. Temperature is measured in degrees, and usually in the Kelvin, Centigrade or Fahrenheit scales. Heat, as a form of energy, might be measured in joules, watts, BTU's or another unit, depending on the application.

∙ 10y agoThe terms, 'thermal energy' and 'heat energy' are long-obsolete. The modern term for what used to be called 'thermal energy' or 'heat energy' is 'internal energy'. These days, 'heat' is considered not to be a 'form of energy', but energy in transit between a higher temperature to a lower temperature.

Thermal energy and heat energy are the same things.

Temperature is an objective comparative numerical measure of hot or cold. It is measured by a thermometer.
In physics, heat is energy that spontaneously passes between a system and its surroundings.

∙ 11y agoNo, Because Temperature Can Be Either Hot Or Cold. Heat Is Normally Warm (:
Temperature would be a measurement of heat or lack of.

∙ 13y agoHeat and Tempurature aren't the same because
Heat is a form of energy that is transferred by a difference in temperature.
Tempurature is the degree of hotness and coldness.

Does pressure rise when heat rises?
Heat and temperature are two different terms. Heat is the cause and temperature is the effect. So when the temperature increases then the pressure increases provided the volume remains constant. This is what we call part of Charle's law.
How is heat different from the temperature of a body?
Heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance; temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance. Heat energy depends on the speed of the particles, the number of particles (the size or mass), and the type of particles in an object. Temperature does not depend on the size or type of object. For example, the temperature of a small cup of water might be the same as the temperature of a large tub of water, but the tub of water has more heat because it has more water and thus more total thermal energy.
What happens when two objects that have different temperatures touch?
Heat will flow from the object that has the higher temperature, to the one with the lower temperature. This will continue until equilibrium is reached, i.e., both objects have the same temperature.
What is the temperature at which a liquid becomes a gas?
Depends on which liquid but is known as the boiling point.
What is heat that can be measured or felt called?
snesible heat
Is temperature different than heat?
Yes, quite different. . . . .Temperature is used to measure heat.
Why is heat different from temperature?
temperature can be cold
How is heat different from temperature and thermal energy?
It is heat which is measured by a temperature scale.
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.
How are heat and temperture different?
heat is considered a position of higher temperature.... Temperature on the hand is only a measure of a heat condition
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.
How will heat move when two areas are of different temperatures?
Heat will will move from an object of higher temperature to an object of lower temperature
Temperature and heat are different but related blank properties?
Physical
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.
The movement of thermal energy from a substance at one temperature to a substance at a different temperature is called?
heat
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.
