.
A measure of how hot or cold something is; specifically a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object.
Temperature
An instrument that measure and indicates temperature.
thermometer
The temperature at which molecular energy is at a minimum (0 K on the Kelvin scale or -273.16 C) on the Celsius scale.
Absolute zero
The energy transferred between objects that are at different temperatures.
Heat
The energy of transfer as heat through a material
thermal Conduction
The movement of matter due to differences in density that are caused by temperature variation.
Convection
The vertical movement of air currents due to temperature variations.
convection currents
The quantity of heat required to raise a unit mass of homogeneous material 1 K or 1 C in a specified way given constant pressure and volume.
specific heat
A material used to cool an area or an object to a temperature that is lower than the temperature of the environment.
Refrigerator
A machine that transforms heat into mechanical energy or work.
