The temperature is the kinetic energy present in the air. It calculates how much kinetic energy is present in the air. By calculating the amount of kinetic energy we can know how much heat is present.
Temperature measures whether the air is hot or cold. If the air is hot means, it measures the amount of hotness. If the air is cold means it measures the amount of coldness.
It is measured in Fahrenheit. So temperature is measured to calculate the energy in the air.
