You measure heat energy in units called calories. (Not to be confused with food Calories)
A calorie is how much energy (energy is measured in Joules, I think.) it takes to warm 1 gram of water 1 degree Centigrade.
Fact: 1,000 heat calories (small 'c') makes 1 food Calorie (large 'c')
Additionally, if temperature is measured in Kelvindegrees, then its value is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance. Temperature is not energy, it is proportional to a type of energy.
Heat is energy measured in Joules or other energy units eg calories. Heat is a measurement of some of the energy in a substance. When you add heat to a substance, you are adding energy to the substance. This added energy is leads to an increase in the kinetic energies of the molecules of the substance. The energy can break bonds rather than increase temperature.

What is An instrument for measuring heat and cold?
A thermometer can measure body Temperature. A bolometer measures heat radiation. A calorimeter determines quantities of heat.
How does one measure the heat given off by a pepper What are the units called?
A somewhat imprecise method of measuring a pepper's heat is via the "scoville unit", a more precise method of measuring heat is via HPCL and will give the concentration of the active heat producing compounds called capsaicins.
What is a measuring can?
a measuring can measure plant.

What do they use the thermometer in daily life?
It is used to measure atmospheric pressure. Pressure tendency can forecast short term changes in the weather.
Do you have to measure the sides while measuring an angle?
When measuring an angle you have to measure the sides using a protractor.
WHO INVENT THE MEASURE DEVICES?

How do you measure hidden valley ranch dressing?
You can measure its volume with a measuring cup or measuring spoons. You can measure its weight with a food scale. You can measure its temperature with a thermometer.
Can you use the same measuring cup when measuring ingredients for pastry?
Yes, but you should measure solids before measuring liquids. If you, for example, measure water before measuring flour, the flour will stick to the measuring cup.
