Heat is a form of energyEnergy is the ability to do work. Energy exists in several forms such as heat, kinetic or mechanical energy, light, potential energy, and electrical energy. Units of Energy: The SI unit... More that produces a sensation of warmth. It flows from a hotter body to a colder body, or from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature. Heat is a scalar quantityA scalar quantity is a quantity that does not depend on direction. It can also be defined as a quantity with magnitude only. Examples of Scalar Quantities include area, density, distance,... More and is measured in joulesJoule is the SI (International System of Units) unit of energy and work. It is equal to the amount of work done when a force of 1 newton displaces a mass... More.
Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body. It is measured using a thermometer, and its unit is the kelvin (K) or degree Celsius (°C). Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy possessed by the molecules of a substance.
The most common thermometers used in the laboratory are
