What unit of measurement is used to determine the hotness of a pepper?
Please see related links, where I have given a link to a web page which explains the most common scale for measuring pepper heat, Scoville Heat Units. The linked page including a chart showing where different peppers rank on the scale. I have also added a link to a Chile Pepper Institute page, Chile Heat, which shows how the Scoville units are calculated, as well as a more expensive and accurate method of measuring heat in a laboratory. All hot peppers get their heat from a naturally occurring chemical called capsaicin and the more capsaicin in a pepper, the higher it will rank on the scale. You can also go to any search engine and search for Scoville Heat Units.

Why are some Chile's hotter than others?
"Hotness" comes from the capsaicin in the pepper. Some, like green bell peppers, have none. Jalapenos have some. Sorrenos, more. Habaneros, a LOT more. The more capsaicin, the hotter the pepper. Now go look up Scoville Heat Units- that is the scale used to compare hotness. PS, hotter is not always better.

What scale do you use to measure how spicy a chili pepper is?
There is a "Scoville" scale that measures heat units. The hotness of a pepper is derived from the amount of the active ingredient capsaisin that it contains. Personally I like hot pepppers and can consume everything up to habaneros (with food). Beyond that, if there are any hotter, that's too much for me.
