joule
This answer needs further explanation. Heat is nota 'form' of energy, but describes 'energy in transit' between a higher temperature to a lower temperature. So it is incorrect to talk about 'heat energy'. Because heat describes energy in transit, it is indeed measured in joules.
Celsius is the most common used way to tell the temperature. Only American uses the Farienhiet.

SI unit is Joule, J
Non SI units are calories, British Thermal units, BTU
Although Celsius is the most common, there is also Fahrenheit and Kelvin.
calorie
Energy is measured in joules. Sometimes the older unit "calorie" is used instead - this is a unit defined on the basis of heat, but it is still a unit of energy.
Heat is a form of energy. In terms of kinetic theory it can be defined asthe sum of kinetic energy of molecules in a sample of a substance.-- Its SI unit is the Joule.-- Its CGS unit is the erg = 10-7 joule.Comment'Heat' is energy in transit between a warmer body and a cooler body. The definition given in the original answer is for 'internal energy', not heat.
Energy of heat = Joules (J)
Latent heat is a type of heat, and heat is a type of energy. Therefore, units of energy are used. In the SI, that would be the joule.
Answer: Here in the US, our units of heat measurement are known as degrees.If you are referring to heat output, that would be measured in BTU's (BTU means British Thermal Units).Answer: The international (SI) unit for ANY type of energy is the joule. The older unit calorie is sometimes still used specifically for (a) heat energy and (b) food energy, but the use of the joule is encouraged instead.Another answer: The 'kelvin' is a unit of measurement for temperature.Please see the related link liseted below for further information:

Heat is a energy form.So unit of heat is the same as energy
"Heat", as used in physics, refers to heat energy - and the unit for any type of energy is the joule.
The SI unit for temperature is Kelvin.Kelvin = Celsius + 273Fahrenheit and Celsius are non SI units, however, Celsius is used in science as it is so easily converted to Kelvin.
The unit for energy is the joule. That's also the unit for work and for heat - both of which refer to energy transfers.
Heat is a form of energy and so the appropriate unit is a Joule.
Energy is measured in joules. Sometimes the older unit "calorie" is used instead - this is a unit defined on the basis of heat, but it is still a unit of energy.
The most common units of heat are the Calorie, Joule and BTU (British thermal unit) heat is a form of energy.
All types of energy are measured in joules. Heat is a type of energy.
The SI unit for energy is the Joule. It doesn't matter whether it be heat energy, or some other form of energy.The SI unit for energy is the Joule.

The SI unit for heat is the same as for energy, the joule (newton-meter). The SI unit for temperature (comparative heat potential) is the Kelvin (K).
