Heat and Temperature 

 When something is cold like ice, we say that it has low heat and temperature. Something which is hot, like hot tea has high temperature. Are heat and temperature two similar things? That's right! Heat and temperature are two different things. Temperature tells you how hot an object is.

Temperature:

The measurement of the hotness and coldness of an object is called temperature. 

The instrument used to measure temperature Is called the thermometer.  

Heat

heat is a form of energy which flows from a region of high temperature to a region of low temperature. As a result of this flow of energy from a region of high temperature to a region of low temperature, the warmer materials cool down and the cooler materials warm up. Do you know how the cold water in bucket in Winter warms up when hot water is poured in the bucket? The reason is that as the energy flows from the hot water to the cold water, it warms up the cold water. Heat energy is Measured in Joules (J). Joule is the unit of energy utilized by the International Standard of Units (SI).
