Heat & temperature is a property of matter... and not matter.
Photons are unique as they are essentially a packet of energy, but without mass. And, not having mass, they are not considered matter. (Note: it used to be common to refer to the relativistic mass-equivalent of an object's kinetic energy as it's "mass", and disinguish it's invariant mass as rest mass. That terminology was still current when I studied relativity, and there are certainly still books on the shelves that use it. Light and heat do have mass in that sense. But that terminology was confusing, and nowadays it is fashionable among physicists to refer to the old "relativistic mass" as "energy" and to the old "rest mass" as "mass". Light and heat have zero rest mass.)
Essentially, "matter" is the stuff that material objects are made of. Heat is merely the random motion of the parts, and light is not among the parts of material stuff either.
Note- when broken down enough matter is comprised of particles similiar to photons(no Mass, specific function, kinda in between energy and matter) it would not truly be a stretch to consider matter as some form of energy.

What elemt cannot be classified as a substances?
The absence of matter is vacuum. Some examples that are not matter include: light, heat, sound, energy, gravity, time, love and happiness.
What is an non-example of matter?
Examples of non-matter (science) 1.light 2.heat 3.temperature 4.thoughts 5.emotions thats the example of non-matter why? Because it has no mass. :) i hope this answer will help you iam teacher in science college iv jaap.
What are the types of energies released when a candle burns?
Energy in the form of heat and light is released.
Are air and heat both matter?
Air is matter but heat is energy.
Nuclear fusion releases energy in what form?
Nuclear fusion releases energy as heat.
Is a heat light matter?
No. Heat and light are forms of energy, not matter.
How does light heat up things?
Light energy hf can be absorbed by the matter and thus heat the matter.
Does ultraviolet light carry heat?
In some circumstances, ultraviolet light may inteact with matter to produce heat, but it does not carry heat. Heat is carried by matter in motion since heat (temperature) is a characteristic of matter.
Heat and light have mass?
Yes ! Because the heat and light are occupying space and they are matter
Is heat and light retained in colorless liquids?
Some heat, no light (light is not "retained" in any matter).
Is light heat and sound forms of matter?
yes
Do heat and light can occupy space?
No. They are energy, not matter.
Can matter receive energy?
Energy, such as light, are not matter since they cannot be touched or felt.
What is the rapid expansion of matter accompianied by heat and light?
an explosion.
How is light energy different from both sound and heat energy?
Light energy can exist independently of matter. *Studyisland
What elemt cannot be classified as a substances?
The absence of matter is vacuum. Some examples that are not matter include: light, heat, sound, energy, gravity, time, love and happiness.
What is a rapid expansion of matter accompanied by heat and light?
How about Combustion? or Explosion.
