Differences between Heat and temperature are:
| S.N. | Heat | Temperature |
| 1. | Heat is the form of energy that flows from system to its surroundings. | Temperature is the degree of hotness and coldness of body. |
| 2. | Heat is measured by using a calorimeter. | Temperature is measured by using thermometer. |
| 3. |
Heat is measured in joules or calories. 4.2 Joules= 1 Calorie |
Temperature is measured in degree Celsius or degree Fahrenheit or Kelvin Scale. |
| 4. | Mass of the body affects the total heat. | Mass of the body doesnot affect temperature but depends on molecular vibration of the body. |
| 5. | It is represented by “Q”. | .It is represented by “T”. |
| 6. | Heat is the total kinetic energy and potential energy obtained by molecules in an object. | Temperature is the average K.E of molecules in a substance. |
| 7. | Heat is Flows from hotter object to cooler object. | Temperature is Rises when heated and falls when cooled. |
