The temperature of an object is related to its kinetic energy - increasing the temperature increases the mass in the kinetic energy equation. Heat is energy that is transferred between objects. Only kinetic energy can be transformed into heat energy. When a hot object is placed in contact with a cold object, it loses heat until it reaches the temperature of that cold object.
