Answer - I would think temperature is a measurement of energy, but I'm probably wrong. If anyone gets the correct answer, please correct me.

Explanation - Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object. When temperature increases, the motion of these particles also increases.

I hope this helps, my apologies if it doesn't.
