Step-by-step explanation:

Heat is a form of thermal energy.

Heat is the sum of all the energy of the molecular motion in an object.

Temperature measures the average heat possessed by each molecule in a given substance.

Molecules at a higher temperature possess more kinetic energy and they will move faster. This kinetic energy form is the heat variant of thermal energy.

Temperature is the measure of this heat energy of molecules.
