The hotter an object is, the faster the motion of the molecules inside it. Thus, the heat of an object is the totalenergy of all the molecular motion inside that object. Temperature, on the other hand, is a measure of the average heat or thermal energy of the molecules in a substance.

• Thermal energy is not a directly measurable quantity whereas temperature is a measurable quantity.
• The temperature of an object can take negative values depending on the unit system used to measure the temperature, but the thermal energy of a system cannot be negative.
• Temperature is measured in Kelvin whereas thermal energy is measured in Joule.
• An object can lose or gain thermal energy in a state transition without changing the temperature of the system.
