The difference of kinetic energy in a substance. The more KE, the hotter the object.

Answer:

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object.

Step-by-step explanation:

Often heat and temperature are used interchangeably — this is wrong. While the two concepts are related, temperature is distinct from heat. Temperature describes the energy of a system, whereas heat refers to the energy transferred between two objects at different temperatures.
