EasyWrite the meaning of temperature.
(N/A) Temperature is a physical quantity that expresses the degree of hotness or coldness of a body.
It is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
When two bodies are in thermal contact,heat flows from the body at a higher temperature to the body at a lower temperature until thermal equilibrium is reached.
The $SI$ unit of temperature is Kelvin $(K)$.
