Heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance. Temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance.
Heat measures both kinetic and potential energy contained by molecules in an object. On the other hand, temperature measures average kinetic energy of molecules in substance. The standard unit of measurement of heat is Joules, while that of temperature is Kelvin, but it can also be measured in Celsius and Fahrenheit.
