The measurement of kinetic or thermal energy is known as what?
When the energy is molecular, atomic, or ionic, it is known as temperature. It is kinetic because the temperature is the mean kinetic energy of these particles. This, by definition, is the thermal energy.
How is kenetic energy related to teampeture?
Kinetic energy is the speed of atoms moving back and forth, the faster they move back and forth the higher the temperature, and the slower they move the lower the temperature. So, the higher the temperature the higher the kinetic energy and the lower the temperature the lower the kinetic energy.
Is the sun an example of thermal energy?
The Sun HAS lots of thermal energy, if that's what you mean.
What is the temperature called at which no more energy can be removed form matter?
I guess you mean, no more thermal energy (heat). That's the lowest possible temperature, called "absolute zero", or zero Kelvin.
What does acronym BTU mean?
British Thermal Unit, the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit

What is the opposite of thermal energy?
There is no opposite of thermal energy.Thermal energy is energy that comes from heat, and therefore comparable to temperature. There is no "opposite of temperature," and there is no "opposite of thermal energy."If an object has high thermal energy, it is hot. The opposite of that would be having low thermal energy, or being cold.
Does temperature mean measure of the heat energy?
No; it is more like a measure of the average energy per particle.

What does it mean to have high thermal energy?
It mean, it had high temperature difference to the surrounding. Quality of thermal energy is upon the temperature due to thermodynamics efficiency. At same thermal energy of 100 kJ refer to 0 oC ambient, a hot bath of 100 oC may have maximum theoretical thermal efficiency of 27% or 27 kJ usable but a hot steam of 200 oC may have maximum theoretical thermal efficiency of 42% or 42 kJ usable.
What does the root heat mean in greek?
The Greek root "therm-" or "thermo-" relates to heat. It is commonly used in words related to temperature and thermal energy, such as thermometer and thermal.
2 glasses of water have the same thermal energy must they have the same temperature explain?
How you can tell is the temperature between the two liquids. If one of the liquid's temperature is warmer than the other one, then that liquid has more thermal energy.
Is the sun an example of thermal energy?
The Sun HAS lots of thermal energy, if that's what you mean.
What type of energy does the water have when it reaches the power station?
Which water do you mean? The cooling water will be at the natural temperature of the lake or river it has come from. It will have only thermal energy
How does ocean termal energy work?
It isn't quite clear what you mean with "work". There is a lot of thermal energy in the oceans; but most of that energy can't be used - can't be converted to useful energy. To use thermal energy - to convert it to something useful - there has to be a temperature difference between different places.
Does cold make air particles go close together?
Short Answer:Particles (atoms and molecules) at high temperature will transfer thermal energy (heat) to near by particles at lower temperature through collisions (bumping into neighboring particles).Explanation:We can say particles in one region are hot or cold depending on their temperature and that means they have more kinetic energy (hot) or less kinetic energy (cold) on the average. When we speak of thermal energy, we mean the kinetic energy that particles have as a consequence of their temperature. Particles are constantly moving and colliding with neighboring particles, so it is natural that those with greater kinetic energy will transfer that energy to those with less kinetic energy. That is why a region of a material that is at a higher temperature will cool and the neighboring region at lower temperature will warm. When that happens, we say that heat energy has gone from the warm region to the cool region. In everyday language, heat and heat energy and thermal energy are used to mean the same hing, energy of matter associated with temperature. If you study science, the terminology gets more specific and the term "heat energy" is not so much used.Comment: Energy can not be made. Energy can be transfered from one location to another and energy can be converted to thermal energy from other forms and back again. We say "energy is conserved" to mean that it changes form but is not created or destroyed.
What is the temperature called at which no more energy can be removed form matter?
I guess you mean, no more thermal energy (heat). That's the lowest possible temperature, called "absolute zero", or zero Kelvin.
