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.


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.


When do SI metric unit of measurement that is used to record heat?

In SI units, temperature is measured in Kelvin (K), and when people record the "heat" (such as how warm a room is, etc.) they usually mean temperature. If you mean heat in the strict scientific sense, you're talking about a transfer of energy, and energy has SI units of Joules.


What units would you use to measure heat?

Heat energy is measured in joules (newton-meters), which are also a unit of work.The calorie is a mostly-superseded unit equal to 4.2 joules, while the "food energy" calorie is actually a kilocalorie (1000 calories).Units of temperature are a related value, indicating the relative contained heat energy. The units of temperature are the kelvin / degree Celsius and the different interval, the degree Fahrenheit. Classically, adding 1 mean calorie of heat energy would raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.


Why is a solid figure measured in cubic units?

The length, width, or height of a solid figure is measured in units of length. The area of the figure's outside surfaces is measured in squared units of length. The volume of space filled by the figure is measured in cubed units of length. The mass of the figure is measured in units of mass. The weight of the object is measured in units of force. The age of the figure is measured in units of time. etc.
