(N/A) From everyday experience,we observe that a hot body has a higher temperature,while a cold body has a lower temperature. For instance,boiling water has a higher temperature than ice.
Temperature is a measure of the 'degree of hotness' or 'coldness' of a body. Heat,on the other hand,is a form of energy that depends on the mass and the nature of the substance. For example,the total heat energy contained in a bucket of water at room temperature is greater than the heat energy in a glass of boiling water,even though the boiling water has a higher temperature.
