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.
