I'm having a jog early morning four times a week for half an hour at that time I don't sweat and I'm wondering if I'm burning a calorie.Thanks for those who answer.

you are burning tons (not literally) of calories, just doing daily activities like brushing your teeth or digesting negative calorie foods burns calories.

Yes, you will still be burning calories.
Sweating is just a way to help cool down to keep the body's internal temperature from rising (evaporative cooling) so it can function normally.
As long as you increase heart rate during exercise, you'll be burning those calories.

Many people assume that, during exercise, the amount of sweat is same as the amount of fat that burnt in our body. This is not true! It has nothing relation with fat burning. A science research have shown that sweat only contain of water and mineral, but NOT FAT!.
So, don't worry if you less or don't sweat when you exercise. More or little sweat, it do burn fat in your body!

You burn calories all the time, even when you're asleep. So yes, jogging definitely does burn calories, but you should try to get to your "target heart rate". To figure out what that is, try this calculator:

yes, you are burning at least "a" calorie.
however, if you stick to running you will notice that you will be sweating a lot more and quicker, which is a very good indicator of your metabolism picking up (burning more calories).

Yes. If your heart is pumping and your breathing rate gets faster, your body is burning your stored energy (calories) and you are losing them.

Yes you are burning calories. You are as long as you are working your muscles and feeling the burn. :)

Yes.
You are.
I heard that you lose half a calorie by moving from a sitting position to a standing position.
So yeah. =P
