How does heat differ from temperature?
a. temperature is the measure of heat.
b. temperature and heat are the same thing.
c. temperature measures thermal energy, and heat is the flow of thermal energy.
d. temperature measures the loss of energy, and heat measures the gain of energy.

The difference between temperature and heat is C. Temperature measures thermal energy, and heat is the flow of thermal energy.

Temperature is one of the principal quantities that shows the degree of heat or cold from an object/space

Temperature is used as a guide to the level of heat energy from objects

Temperature cannot be measured by the surface of the hand because it is not accurate but can be measured by a thermometer. Temperature units include Celsius, Fahrenheit, Reamur or Kelvin

Whereas heat is a form of energy that can flow from high-temperature objects to low-temperature objects.

So heat moves when there is a difference in temperature and can increase or decrease the temperature. An object that receives a lot of heat will cause a large increase in temperature

The amount of heat is influenced by the mass of the object and the difference in temperature

Can be formulated

Q = m . c . ΔT

Q: heat received or removed by an object (J)

m: object mass (kg)

c: heat type substance (J / kg⁰C)

ΔT: temperature change (⁰C)

So the best answer is C. Temperature measures thermal energy, and heat is the flow of thermal energy.
