A convenient operational definition of temperature is that it is a measure of the average translational kinetic energy associated with the disordered microscopic motion of atoms and molecules.[1]
Scientific unit of temperature is kelvin. Unist of temperature in everyday use are for example Celsius degree and Fahrenheit degree.
