the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, especially as expressed according to a comparative scale and shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch.

OpenStudy (dr.gray):

temperature is something that indicates how hot or cold something is

OpenStudy (rjtrain1):

A temperature is an objective comparative measure of hot or cold. It is measured by a thermometer, which may work through the bulk behavior of a thermometric material, detection of thermal radiation, or particle kinetic energy

OpenStudy (turbostudier):

Nope. the correct answer was how much energy is used determines how hot or cold something is, but thats okay. @Arcadiouse got the closest, because he did not mention "how hot or cold something is"
