Kinetic energy is energy of motion while temperature is a measure of that energy in substances.

Temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance. If the degree of motion of the molecules inside an object doubles, the temperature will also double. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.
