Answer

The differences between heat and temperature are given as below:
S.No.
Heat
Temperature
$(i)$
It is a form of energy which flows from one body to another when there is a difference in temperature between the objects.
It is the thermal condition of a body that indicates whether or not and in which direction, heat will flow from one body to the other.
$(ii)$
It is equal to the sum of internal energies of the molecules of a body.
It is proportional to average kinetic energy of the molecules of the body.
$(iii)$
As a heat between two bodies, total amount of heat of two bodies remains unchanged.
As a conclusion of exchange of heat between two bodies, sum of their temperatures before and after exchange is not same.
$(iv)$
$SI$ unit of heat is joule $(J).$
SI unit of temperature is kelvin $(K).$
