Question

The degree of hot or cold of a body is called ________ (heat/temperature).

Answer 1

Hint Degree of Hotness or coldness of a body is the measure of heat or energy the body has. Think of boiling water. How will you determine the heat of a body? What will you do if you are asked to tell the amount of heat your body has. Guess what should be the answer.

Complete step-by-step answer:
The degree of hot or cold of a body is called temperature.
Whenever you find something hot in your body or cold in your body, this is the temperature of your body.
The temperature of an object, usually measured in degrees-Fahrenheit or degrees-Celsius, tells us how much heat, or energy, the body has.

Hot bodies usually have higher temperature than colder bodies because the amount of heat in hot bodies is obviously greater than the cold bodies.

The temperature of a body is usually measured in degrees-Fahrenheit or degrees-Celsius sometimes Kelvin in some places (like in thermodynamics).
If you touch something hot, say a steel vessel in which water is boiling. You immediately remove your hands from it because your body cannot bear that much heat.

Celsius is the most famous unit for measuring temperature across the world.

Note Main thing the scientists usually use is water to compare temperatures of other things because easy boiling points and freezing points of water makes scientists easy to remember the boiling point and freezing point of water. Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius and freezes at zero degrees Celsius.
