In classical thermodynamics and kinetic theory, temperature reflects the average kinetic energy of the particles in a system, providing a quantitative measure of how energy is distributed among microscopic degrees of freedom. Temperature reflects the average kinetic energy of the vibrating and colliding atoms making up a substance. It is a numerical expression of the everyday experience of hotness or coldness.
