There are two types of heat categorized by the effect heat has on a material

Sensible Heat :Indicates heat absorbed or rejected by a material that accompanies or causes a change in temperature. This change can be detected by the sense of touch and measured with a thermometer.

Latent Heat : indicates heat absorbed or rejected by a material that accompanies or causes a change of physical state and seems to disappear or hide into the material without having an effect on its temperature. This is also known has ‘hidden’ heat

Enthalpy is the sum of sensible heat and latent heat. The unit is kJ/kg, or kcal/kg.
