1. A hood apparatus for a cooking device, comprising:
at least one temperature sensor arranged in a direction of a cooking device including a plurality of burners;
a communication interface to perform communication with the cooking device;
a driving device configured to adjust a sensing direction of the at least one temperature sensor;
a distance sensing sensor configured to sense a distance between the at least one temperature sensor and each of the plurality of burners of the cooking device; and
a processor configured to:
identify at least one burner being driven from among the plurality of burners;
control the driving device to adjust the sensing direction of the at least one temperature sensor so that the at least one temperature sensor faces a position of the identified at least one burner;
update a sensing result sensed by the at least one temperature sensor according to the distance sensed by the distance sensing sensor; and
control the communication interface to transmit the updated sensing result of the at least one temperature sensor to the cooking device.
