How is temperature measured class 7

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of an object. When we talk about something feeling hot (like the soup we drink when were sick) or cold (like the snow, especially if youre not wearing gloves), were talking about temperature.

The temperature of an object, usually measured in degrees-Fahrenheit or degrees-Celsius, tells us how much heat, or energy, the object has.

A boiling cup of water has very active molecules moving around very quickly and producing the heat we feel on our hands and faces. Colder objects don't have as much energy.

Temperature meaning in science

Their molecules are much less active.

Think about this: If you put an oven mitt on a hot dish fresh from the stove, the oven mitt usually picks up some of the heat, right? This is one of the main ideas of thermodynamics, which studies (partly) how energy and heat work hand-in-hand.

If there isn't any heat being transferred between two objects, those objects are the same temperature. But if one object is hotter, heat will flow naturally from the hotter object to the colder object; this is why the oven mitt gets wa
