ProfessorIn practical terms, temperature measures heat and heat measures the thermal energy of a system. In meteorological systems, for example, temperature, as an indirect measure of heat energy), reflects the level of sensible thermal energy of the atmosphere. Such measurements utilize thermometers and are expressed on a given temperature scale, usually Fahrenheit or Celsius.
they are both related to heat.

What are some similarities between the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat?
they are both basketball teams
What is the relationship between heat and the state of matter?
I think that the relationship between Heat and matter is that they both can be seen, both measured, both exists. Those are just some similarities.
Only a small percentage of the electric energy going into a common light bulb is transformed into light what happens to the rest?
The rest is dissipated as heat.
What are the similarities between brick and metamorphic rock?
Both igneous and metamorphic rocks are formed by pressure and some kind of heat
What is the relationship between heat and water?
The process of changing one form of energy into another form of energy is called work (symbol: W). For example, when an electric motor changes electric energy into kinetic energy, it is doing work.Heat (symbol: Q) describes energy in transit (i.e. the flow of energy) from a warmer body to a cooler body.So, for example, when an electric kettle is switched on, electrical energy is converted into the internal energy of the water (and of the kettle itself) -in other words, work(W) is being done to the kettle. As the internal energy* of the water and the kettle increases, its temperature rises above the abient (surrounding) temperature, so energy is then lost from the kettle to its surroundings by heat(Q) transfer. So, the change in the water/kettle's internal energy is the difference between the work done on the kettle, and the heat transfer away from the kettle. To summarise:change in internal energy = W - QSo, we can say that a change in internal energy is the difference between work and heat. And this is the relationship between work and heat.(*'Internal energy' is the sum total of the various energies associated with the vibration of the molecules of any body. All bodies have internal energy. Lower internal energy is associated with lower temperatures, and higher internal energy is associated with higher temperatures.)
