No. Heat is one of many forms of energy, and is measured in units of energy ...
joules, calories, watt-seconds, BTU, foot-pounds, etc.
"Degrees" describe the temperature of an object or a sample of a substance.
That's a measure of how "full of heat" it is. One joule of heat will fill an ounce
of water higher than the same joule will fill a gallon of water. So after absorbing
the same amount of heat, the temperature of the ounce is higher than the gallon's
temperature.
