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.

What is a measurement of angles?
Angles are measured by degrees. Fractions of degrees are measured in minutes and seconds.
The basic unit by which angles are measured is?
Angles are measured in degrees. It is degress 100% sure.
The basic unit in which angles are measured is the?
degrees
What unit is measured by a protractor?
Usually degrees
A right angle is measured in how many degrees?
90 degrees is the measure of a right angle
Is heat energy measured in units of joules degrees Celsius and in degrees Fahrenheit?
Heat is measured in unit of what...
Is heat measured in celsius degrees?
It can be.
Is heat is measured in degrees Celsius?
Temperature is measured in celcius.Heat is measured in joules.
Is temp or heat measured in degrees?
If you want to be pedantic, scientists measure temperature in kelvins, not degrees. Heat is energy and is measured in energy units, like joules.
Can heat be measured in Kelvin or centigrade degrees?
No. Those are units of temperature. Heat is measured in units of energy, such as the joule.
Can heat be measured in degrees Fahrenheit?
No, Fahrenheit is the Imperial Unit for temperature, not heat. Heat is energy in transit and is measured in joules (in the SI sytem).
How does the amount of heat transferred to a system can be measured in?
Its measured in degrees and is either Fahrenheit or Celsius
What is the sun's heat measured in?
Usually in degrees. In science, the degrees would be in Celsius or Kelvins.
What is the metric system of measurement based on temperature and heat?
Temperature is measured in kelvin, although degrees Celsius are commonly used. Heat is a form of energy, and is measured in joules.
What is Measured using a thermometer?
Heat is measured using calorimeter.A calorimeter is an object used for calorimetry, or the process of measuring the heat of chemical reactions or physical changes as well as heat capacity.
How does temprature differ from thermal energy?
Temperature is a sensible heat measurement readable on a thermometer, measured in degrees. Thermal energy is the heat content of a material measured in heat units, often btus, calories, or kilogram-joules.
How is heat measured in a calorimeter?
An insulated container with a thermometer to measure change of heat can be used as a calorimeter. Example a polystyrene cup with a lid.
