Properties definition
Altitude is not a property, if you're thinking of position in gravity field that's a different matter, but altitude, especially as defined in the linking article has nothing to do with gravity effects.
I disagree in putting Heat as a property, is not defined that way in thermodynamics books. Paquitotrek (talk) 20:06, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

- Neither heat nor work is a material property in formal thermodynamics, both are instead (integrals of) energy flows across a boundary. Informally, however, one speaks of heat content when referring to energy gained and lost through changes in temperature. To avoid adding to the confusion, it’s best to remove heat from the list.
