Solution
Heat is the energy that is transmitted spontaneously from one body to another due to temperature differences.
Heat is a type of energy that can be transformed to work. As a result, the amount of energy is measured in the same units as work.
Therefore, joules is the SI unit of heat.
The CGS unit of heat is 'erg'.
