A sparkler burns far hotter than bathwater and cannot scald you the way a warm bath can.

What it means
Temperature says how energetic each particle is. Heat is how much energy there is to hand over, and that depends on how many particles there are. A sparkler throws off specks at well over a thousand degrees, and each speck is so small that it has almost no energy to deliver before it cools. A bath at forty five degrees has kilograms of water behind it. The two quantities are routinely confused and they are not the same measurement.
