What is thermal energy?
Thermal energy, often referred to as heat energy, is a form of energy that results from the movement of atoms and molecules within a substance. It is a type of kinetic energy that is associated with the random motion of particles at the microscopic level. The faster the particles move, the higher the thermal energy of the substance. Thermal energy can be transferred from one object to another through various methods such as conduction, convection, and radiation. It plays a crucial role in everyday life and is responsible for maintaining the temperature and enabling various processes in natural and human-made systems.
