Eh. Heat is energy with certain entropic characteristics. Electromagnetic radiation carries that energy, but is not itself the energy.

- kgwgk 10y agoI was paraphrasing a previous comment. Heat is the energy transferred between systems and that's how I interpreted the "energy is released in the form of" in the original comment. I'm not sure what is your point. Do you think that saying that the "energy is released in the form of heat and radiation" is better? To me that seems like saying "energy is released in the form of heat (i.e. energy transferred) and radiation (i.e. one the transfer mechanisms)". Do you like "heat (some of which is transferred through radiation (some of which is called light))" better?
