Thermal Energy
Thermal energy is also known as heat energy. It is determined by the activeness of atoms or molecules in an object. These molecules and atoms move or vibrate continuously based on temperature levels. The molecules and atoms of a hot object present rapid movement whereas the atoms and molecules of cooler objects present less movement. Hence, thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of a material or object.
Any substance or object with a high temperature has more of its particles in vibration, which means it has high thermal energy. For example, boiling water has thermal energy in the form of kinetic energy from its vibrating particles. Adding cold water to the boiling water transfers the thermal energy which reduces the vibration of the particles. Thermal energy is transferred from one substance or particle to another via conduction, radiation, and convection.
