We often speak of heat as though it were a material that flows from one object to another; it is not. Rather, it is a form of energy. Unit of heat: calorie (cal) 1 cal is the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 Celsius degree. Don’t be fooled – the calories on our food labels are really kilocalories (kcal or Calories), the heat necessary to raise 1 kg of water by 1 Celsius degree.
