The answer is No, heat is a measure of the kinetic energy of the atoms.
In a gas, the only form that the energy is stored in is kinetic energy.
Note however that in a solid, the atoms are vibrating, this energy moves back and forth between being kinetic energy and potential energy. When it is in the form of potential energy the energy is being stored in an electric field. So just as much energy is being stored in an electromagnetic field as in the form of kinetic energy.
So the strict answer is , kind of, sometimes.

What is the difference between electromagnetic energy and thermal energy?
Thermal energy ( heat energy ) makes heat and electromagnetic makes light that you can see
Is the energy a fire gives off electromagnetic?
The light is electromagnetic energy; so is the heat radiation. Heat transported through conduction or convection is no longer electromagnetic energy.
Does a light bulb convert electrical energy into electromagnetic energy?
Yes. The electromagnetic energy comes out of it in the form of light and heat.
How is the electromagnetic energy from the microwave transformed into heat energy?
It is absorbed by the food.
How is the sun related to electromagnetic nuclear and heat energy?
The Sun emits electromagnetic and heat energy; we receive that.The Sun gets its energy from nuclear energy; specifically, converting hydrogen-1 into helium-4.
What device converts electromagnetic radition into heat energy?
Heat Lamp. Is a lamp that shines heat energy ( electromagnetic Energy) into the form of heat.

Is a light bulb an example og electromagnetic energy?
A light bulb is not an example of electromagnetic energy, but the light which the bulb gives off is an example of electromagnetic energy.
Sunlight is an example of which form of energy?
Visible light is an example of electromagnetic energy or radiated energy.
Why is a x-ray machine a form of electromagnetic energy?
It is a form of electromagnetic energy because it uses special light rays to see through your skin/body to see your bones. It's heat and light is what makes it an excellent example of electromagnetic energy.
How does energy change within the electromagnetic spectrum?
Heat energy
What are examples of the transfromation of electromagnetic energy to thermal energy?
For example, when heat from sunlight is absorbed by a substance, the substance gets hot. Also, when radio waves are absorbed (for instance, by a wall), the energy is converted to heat.
Does a light bulb convert electrical energy into electromagnetic energy?
Yes. The electromagnetic energy comes out of it in the form of light and heat.
Is sunlight mechanical energy?
No, it is electrical and light energy, which transforms into heat energy.
In a microwave oven electromagnetic energy is changed to what kind of energy?
Heat energy
Light electricity Magnetism and heat are forms of which energy?
Electromagnetic energy.
