Temperature


 

Temperature is the physical property of a system which underlies the common notions of "hot" and "cold"; the material with the higher temperature is said to be hotter. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter. In other words, temperature is a measure of activity and the frequency of collisions of molecules.
