what is a thermal energy
Thermal energy is the internal energy of an object due to the kinetic energy of its atoms and/or molecules.The atoms and/or molecules of a hotter object have greater kinetic energy than those of a colder one, in the form of vibrational, rotational, or, in the case of a gas, translational motion.hermal energy is the internal energy of an object due to the kinetic energy of its atoms and/or molecules.
