Temperature is the measure of how much heat energy something has.
Just like distance is the measure of how far apart two points are.
0 degrees centigrade for example is the point at which water freezes whereas 100 degrees is the boiling point of water.
So a warm bath tub may have a lower temperature than a candle flame, but it has more heat energy stored in it overall because it would take a lot of candles to heat up a bath tub.

What is the effect of temperature change to the amount of heat content of the substance?
The effect of temperature change to the amount of heat content of the substance is called heat transfer. As heat increases, the temperature decreases.
IS it true that different materials need the same amount of heat to have similar changes in temperature?
Well, honey, let me break it down for you. Different materials have different heat capacities, so they actually require different amounts of heat to experience similar changes in temperature. It's like trying to fill up a kiddie pool with a watering can versus a fire hose - one's gonna take a lot longer than the other. So, no, it ain't true that different materials need the same amount of heat to warm up.
What are the similarities and differences between heat and temperature?
Heat is defined as the total kinetic energy of all the atoms and molecules that make up a substance.Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual atoms or molecules in a substance.
What unit is used to measure heat intensity?
Heat intensity (how Hot is it) is measured by the objects Temperature in Degrees, Fahrenheit, Centigrade, or Kelvin. Heat content (energy) is most commonly measured in Calories.
How do units that are used to measure heat are different from the units that are used to measure temperature?
Heat is measured in calories or BTU, whilst temperature is measured in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.1 calorie is the heat to raise 1 gram of water by 1 degree C1 BTU is the heat to raise 1 pound of water by 1 degree FHeat is the amount of energy in a system measured in Joules. Temp is the MEASURE of the AVERAGE molecular motions in a system F/CAnother AnswerIn SI, heat is measured in joules and temperature in kelvin.
