Question

How do the units that are used to measure heat differ from the units that are used to measure temperature?

Answer 1

Heat is measured in Joules. Temperature is not energy. It relates to the average kinetic energy of microscopic motions of a single particle in the system per degree of freedom. It is measured in Kelvin K ,Celsius C or Fahrenheit F.

Answer 2

Answer: The fundamental difference between heat and temperature is that Heat is the form of energy that transfers from a hot state to a cold state. The unit of Heat is Joule. However, the temperature is the measure of the hotness and coldness of an object. The SI unit of Temperature is Kelvin.
