What is the primary difference between heat and temperature?

• Heat is the transfer of thermal energy, while temperature measures the average kinetic energy of particles.

• Heat is measured in degrees, while temperature is measured in Joules.

• Heat flows from cooler objects to warmer ones, while temperature remains constant.

• Heat is a form of potential energy, while temperature is a form of kinetic energy.
