Heat (q) is energy that is transferred from one object to another because of a temperature difference between them.

Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

Temperature plays part in heat, and heat is dependent on temperature.

Temperature is absolute while heat is relative. The direction of heat always travels from the warmer object to the cooler! Hope this helps!
