joule

This answer needs further explanation. Heat is nota 'form' of energy, but describes 'energy in transit' between a higher temperature to a lower temperature. So it is incorrect to talk about 'heat energy'. Because heat describes energy in transit, it is indeed measured in joules.

Celsius is the most common used way to tell the temperature. Only American uses the Farienhiet.

Not just the U.S. uses the imperial system and fahrenheit; many other countries do too. 

The non-SI unit of heat energy is the calorie (cal). It is commonly used in the field of nutrition to measure the energy content of food.

SI unit is Joule, J

Non SI units are calories, British Thermal units, BTU

What is the use of heat as a convenient measurement of chemical energy in any reaction?

Energy is measured in joules. Sometimes the older unit "calorie" is used instead - this is a unit defined on the basis of heat, but it is still a unit of energy.


What is the SI unit symbol for heat energy?

Heat is a form of energy. In terms of kinetic theory it can be defined asthe sum of kinetic energy of molecules in a sample of a substance.-- Its SI unit is the Joule.-- Its CGS unit is the erg = 10-7 joule.Comment'Heat' is energy in transit between a warmer body and a cooler body. The definition given in the original answer is for 'internal energy', not heat.


What unit is used too measure energy?

Energy of heat = Joules (J)


Is there a unit that represents heat energy?

Answer: Here in the US, our units of heat measurement are known as degrees.If you are referring to heat output, that would be measured in BTU's (BTU means British Thermal Units).Answer: The international (SI) unit for ANY type of energy is the joule. The older unit calorie is sometimes still used specifically for (a) heat energy and (b) food energy, but the use of the joule is encouraged instead.Another answer: The 'kelvin' is a unit of measurement for temperature.Please see the related link liseted below for further information:


What is the measurement of heat?

The measurement of heat is typically done in units of energy, such as joules or calories. In the International System of Units (SI), the unit for heat is the joule. Heat energy can also be measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs) in some contexts.
