Condition with respect to heat or cold ,
especially as indicated by the sensation produced ,
or by the thermometer or pyrometer ;
degree of heat or cold ;
as ,
the temperature of the air ;
high temperature ;
low temperature ;
temperature of freezing or of boiling .
Note :
The temperature of a liquid or a solid body as measured by a thermometer is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the consituent atoms or molecules of the body .
For other states of matter such as plasma ,
electromagnetic radiation ,
or subatomic particles ,
an analogous measure of the average kinetic energy may be expressed as a temperature ,
although it could never be measured by a traditional thermometer ,
let alone by sensing with the skin .
