Best Answer

Temperature is the degree or intensity of heat that is held in a substance, object or produced by a body, especially heat that can be measured by touch, thermometer, or as an estimate or a comparison to something else's known temperature. For example, we can't put a thermometer in the sun, but we can estimate its amount of heat.
