Many people have a tendency to think that heat and temperature are the same thing. However, this is not true. Heat describes:

• energy that flows from cooler objects to warmer objects.FLFL

• the average amount of energy possessed by an object due to the motion of its particles.

• the average amount of energy possessed by an object due to the potential energy stored in its bonds.

• energy that flows from warmer objects to cooler objects.
