If there is physical matter between two points, then thermal energy (heat) can
travel between them by means of conduction or convection. If there is no material
in the path, or the material in the path is transparent in the infrared, then thermal
energy can travel the path by radiation.
No
A candle has thermal energy because of it flames, the flames have heat and thermal energy is heat.
Chemical energy is converted to thermal energy.The conversion that is taking place is chemical energy into thermal energy. The type of conversion is taking place when natural gas is used to heat water is chemical energy that is turned into thermal energy.

When you place your feet near the fireplace and they become warm, the energy conversion is from thermal to radiant. The fireplace radiates heat energy which warms your feet.
In a handwarmer, the energy conversion takes place from chemical energy to thermal energy. This occurs when the chemicals in the handwarmer react and produce heat, which then warms up the surrounding environment.

Electrical, Thermal, and Sound Energy.
The movement of thermal energy from one place to another is called heat transfer. It can occur through conduction, convection, or radiation.
