Remember this

  • Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold an object is. It is a property of the object.
  • Heat is a form of energy. Heat gained or lost is the reason a temperature changes.
  • Hot water on a table loses heat to its surroundings, so its temperature falls to room temperature.
  • Cold water on a table gains heat from its surroundings, so its temperature rises to room temperature.
