Heat capacity (abbreviated Cth or just C, also called thermal capacity) is the ability of matter to store heat. The heat capacity of a certain amount of matter is the quantity of heat (measured in joules) required to raise its temperature by one kelvin. The SI unit for heat capacity is J/K (joule per kelvin).
