Thermal energy, also called heat, moves through liquids and gases in three ways:
1. Conduction (which can also occur in solids). Conduction is when heat directly travels through matter. As hot molecules move back and forth, they bump into cooler molecules, and transfer some of their heat energy to those molecules.
2. Convection (which can only happen in gases and liquids). Convection is when hot fluids (a fluid is a gas or liquid) expand, and thus are less dense. The hotter fluids float to the top, and the denser, cooler fluid sinks. As they come in contact with each other, the hot fluid transfers heat energy to the cooler fluid. In these scenarios, the main heat source is usually at the bottom. Thus, the cooler fluid that sank gets hot and floats back up, while the fluid on the top cools off and sinks. This cycle creates something called a convection current.
3. Radiation (which doesn't require any matter). Radiation is heat that travels in the form of infrared waves. One example of this is that heat energy comes from the sun, and that is what keeps Earth warm (note that the radiation does have to pass through the atmosphere; so heat can travel as radiation through a fluid).
Convection needs something flowing to carry heat. That means a liquid, such as water, or a gas, such as air.
Solids don't flow. They block convection.

3 ways thermal energy moves is by radiation, convection and conduction
when you add thermal energy to matter, the matter starts moving faster.
In gases, thermal energy is transferred mainly through conduction and convection, where molecules move freely and collisions transfer energy. In solids, thermal energy is transferred primarily through conduction, where vibrations of atoms and molecules pass heat along a material's lattice structure. Gases have higher thermal conductivity than solids due to the increased mobility of particles.
The thermal energy of a substance is related to its physical state by determining the motion and arrangement of its particles. In solid state, particles have low thermal energy and vibrate in fixed positions. In liquid state, particles have higher thermal energy and move more freely. In gas state, particles have the highest thermal energy and move independently of each other.
Energy gases are gases that are used as sources of energy. Examples include natural gas, propane, and butane. These gases are commonly used for heating, cooking, and electricity generation.

Internal combustion engines use the oxidation of vaporized fuel to release thermal energy. This energy causes the gases present to expand rapidly, and this expansion is converted to mechanical energy by the pistons as they move up and down on the camshaft.
All forms of energy can be transformed into thermal energy
that move.
# cos nothing is converting it to kinetic energy # if you add enough thermal energy the box will burn and "move" :)

When thermal energy is taken away from matter particles move more slowly. When thermal energy is added to matter particles move faster.
Most thermal energy in the atmosphere is transferred through convection, where warmer air rises and cooler air sinks. This creates circulation patterns that help distribute heat around the Earth. Additionally, thermal energy can also be transferred through radiation, where heat is emitted in the form of electromagnetic waves.
