Answer:velocity of molecules within a body

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a body. The kinetic energy of a body depends on the velocity of the molecules of the body. When the temperature of a body increases, its particles acquire greater kinetic energy and move at higher velocity. Hence temperature depends on the velocity of the molecules of a body while heat is a form of energy.
