Heat capacity is a material property that measures the amount of heat energy required to change the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin). It varies with the substance's mass, composition, and temperature. There are two types of heat capacity: specific heat capacity, which is per unit mass, and molar heat capacity, which is per mole. Generally, materials with high heat capacities can absorb and store more heat without undergoing significant temperature changes.
