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.

What is more dense a cold object or a hot object?

A cold object is usually more dense than a hot object because colder temperatures cause particles to move less and come closer together, increasing the object's density. Conversely, in a hot object, particles move faster and spread out, decreasing its density.
