Heat & Temperature

Do you think heat & temperature are the same thing? Well, Keep reading to find out...

Heat is a type of energy that goes crazy & warms up the atoms. For example,You see those atoms as sweat. When your face goes bright red, you know your hot. When you cold, If you jump up & down it wakes the atoms up & that's how you warm up.

Temperature is also an energy that heats up the atoms. But temperature cools down the atoms too. When someone says 'I've got a temperature.' They normally meen they are hot because we don't use our English properly. When you go to the beach & the water is freezing when you swim. you get cold because   body is trying to reach the same temperature.


Heat &  temperature are not the same thing. Well,People say they are but they not because you just read what heat is & you just read what  temperature. There is a difference. Remember heat it something hot &  temperature is something hot or cold.Energy transfers through our body & warms up or cools down the atoms. Also, When your sick the germs heat the atoms which go crazy & make you get a hot temperature.
Heat & Temperature are not the same thing because heat is hot and temperature is hot or cold. 

This informing writing proves that heat & temperature are not the same thing.
