The word "heat" as used in physics refers to heat energy, so it is logically measured in units of energy. The international unit for energy is the joule. Heat energy is sometimes still measured in the old-fashioned unit "calorie" instead.

∙ 10y agoHeat as temperature is most commonly measured in:
- Fahrenheit
- Rankine
- Celsius
- kelvin
Heat as energy present or transferred is measured in:
- BTU (British Thermal Units)
- calories
In SI, all forms of energy are measured in joules.

Can heat be measured in degrees Fahrenheit?
No, Fahrenheit is the Imperial Unit for temperature, not heat. Heat is energy in transit and is measured in joules (in the SI sytem).
What is thermal energy measured in?
Heat is measured in joules.
What is the meaning f heat?
It is heat measured on the 'fahrenheit' scale.
Is heat measured in celsius degrees?
It can be.
What is the unit that heat is measured?
Heat is measured in BTUs (British Thermal Units)Further AnswerHeat is energy in transit from a warmer body to a cooler body, and, in the SI system is measured in joules(J). In the older, cgs system it was measured in calories. In the Imperial system it was measured in BTUs.
What is heat capacity temperature measured in?
specifc heat is measured by units
How do units that are used to measure heat are different from the units that are used to measure temperature?
Heat is measured in calories or BTU, whilst temperature is measured in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.1 calorie is the heat to raise 1 gram of water by 1 degree C1 BTU is the heat to raise 1 pound of water by 1 degree FHeat is the amount of energy in a system measured in Joules. Temp is the MEASURE of the AVERAGE molecular motions in a system F/CAnother AnswerIn SI, heat is measured in joules and temperature in kelvin.
What heat can't be measured?
nothing can not be measured.
What is Cell diameter is measured in?
Cells are typically measured in micrometers
What is heat energy measured in?

What unit is specific heat measured in?
In SI, specific heat capacity is measured in joules per kilogram kelvin.
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.
Heat is measured in newtons?
False. Heat is energy, and is measured in Joules. One joule equals one newton∙meter.
