What is the main difference between heat and temperature?

• Heat is a measure of the total energy of molecular motion in a substance, while temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance.

• Heat is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance, while temperature is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance.

• Heat can only be transferred between objects of the same temperature, while temperature can vary between objects.

• Heat is always measured in Joules, while temperature is always measured in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
