heat capicity is the amount of heat you have to apply to a substance to raise it's temperature. This is Measured in Joules per kilogram per degree celcius (or more accurately degrees kelvin). (J/kg/K). For example you have to apply a lot more heat to water than the same weight of copper to increase it's temperature so water has a higher heat capicity. It also takes a lot longer for water to cool down than copper this is also due to water's higher heat capacity.
