I have Landsat 8 Collection 2 Level 2 which is in Surface Reflectance and Surface Temperature (Thermal Band). After rescaling with one of the two methods highlighted below, Can I say the Surface Temperature from the Thermal Band is the same as Land Surface Temperature (LST) OR I will have to calculate LST separately?
Surface Reflectance for OLI Bands= SR * 0.0000275 - 0.2
Surface Temperature for TIRS Band 10 = SR * 0.00341802 + 149
OR
((SetNull(("SR_B4"65455),"SR_B4"))*(0.0000275))-(0.2)
((SetNull(("SR_B10"65455),"SR_B10"))*(0.00341802))+(149)

No, Landsat 8 Collection 2 Level 2 Rescaled Thermal Band (Surface Temperature in Kelvin) is not the same as Land Surface Temperature (LST). The former is a measure of the temperature at the surface of the Earth, while the latter is a measure of the temperature of the land itself.
Thank you for your responses. I will appreciate if you find any other helpful information in the future.
