How does heat differ from temperature?

Temperature is the measure of heat.

Temperature and heat are the same thing.

Temperature measures thermal energy (kinetic energy), and heat is the flow of thermal energy.

Temperature measures the loss of energy, and heat measures the gain of energy.

temperature is the measure of kinetic energy and when temperature increases so does the particles. heat is the measure of the flow of thermal energy and how to easily understand this is when u feel hot, u adjust the temperature so it’s cooler :)
