Answer:

Heat is the transfer of thermal energy between molecules within a system and is measured in Joules (J). It measures how energy moves or flows. Temperature is the average kinetic energy of molecules within a material or system and is measured in Celcius (°C), Kelvin (K), Fahrenheit (°F), or Rankine (R).

Heat and Temperature are physical properties of a body. While heat is a form of energy, temperature is a measure of how hot a body is. Temperature is directly proportional to the heat of the body, so when heat is introduced, the temperature of the body increases. Hope this helped!
