Solution Preview
Heat and temperature are two different physical quantities. You can not find any similarity between the two.
Temperature is a physical quantity associated to a body.
Heat is a form of energy which flows from height temperature body to low temperature body spontaneously, when they come in contact.
By absorbing heat energy, temperature of a body can increase, and on emission of heat energy temperature of a body decreases.

Solution Summary
Difference between heat and temperature, and between conduction and convection are discussed in-brief.
