What will be an ideal response?
Heat is a term that is commonly used synonymously with thermal energy. In this usage, heat is energy possessed by a material arising from the internal motions of its atoms or molecules. Temperature, on the other hand, is related to the average kinetic energy of a material's atoms or molecules. Stated another way, the term heat generally refers to the quantity of energy present, whereas the word temperature refers to the intensity, that is, the degree of "hotness."
