Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Every substance is composed of molecules that have kinetic energy.

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of molecules in the substance.

Temperature is measured in units of degrees.

As the kinetic energy of molecules increases, temperature also increases, and vice versa.
