What is Temperature?

Temperature of an object is the degree of hotness (or coldness) of an object.

For Example -

• The temperature of boiling water is 100 degree celsius ( 100°C ) so, the boiling water feels very hot to touch. 
• On the other hand, the temperature of melting ice is 0 degrees celsius ( 0°C ) which is quite low. So, the ice feels very cold to touch.

The temperature of an object is measured using a thermometer.
