No, heat is energy contained in the disorganized motion of molecules.

Take a gas for example. Molecules are moving around randomly, independent of any bulk motion. Temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy of the molecules. If heat is added the temperature goes up, so the average kinetic energy goes up. There's no separate thing that is heat.

Do heat and light can occupy space?

No, heat and light are forms of energy, not physical matter, so they do not occupy space in the way that physical objects do. They can be present in a space, but they do not have a fixed volume or mass like matter does.

Why is light not a form of matter?

It doesn't have mass or take up space. <><><><><> Light is energy, and energy is matter, according to Einstein. Besides, it has been proved that light is affected by Gravity and, in order to do that, it has to have mass. Look again at Einstein and others, such as Lorentz... The photon has no mass, or does it? True, it seems to have no mass, but that is at rest state. Multiply that by infinity to account for mass increase and time dilation due to traveling at the speed of light, and what do you get? Something that looks like a particle, having mass, traveling at the speed of light.


Describe matter and explain why light is not matter?

Matter consists of atoms and molecules that have mass and occupy space. Light, on the other hand, is a form of energy that behaves like a wave and a particle (photon). It does not have mass or occupy space in the same way that matter does, which is why it is not considered matter.
