One calorie is the thermal energy required to raise one gram of water by one deg C. (Note that in food, the calorie used is actually the kilocalorie. Also that one calorie = 4.2 Joules.)
Another Answer
The calorie is an older unit of measurement for energy and work. It was part of the centimetre-gram-second-ampere (cgsA) system, which has long been replaced by the SI system. The modern, SI, unit of measurement for energy and work is the joule.

What is the English measurement of thermal energy?
Traditionally the BTU (British Thermal Unit), but now we usually use kilojoules
Is thermal energy stored energy?
No, thermal energy is the energy related to the temperature of something.
What kind of energy is also called thermal energy?
Thermal Energy is the kind of energy that is related to and/or caused by heat
Is thermal energy measured in Celsius?
No. Temperature is measured in degrees celsius. Thermal energy, which causes temperature change, is measured in calories or british thermal units. A calorie, not a food calorie, is the amount of heat necessary to raise 1 ml of water 1 degree celsius. 252 calories = 1 btu. 1 food calorie is actually equivalent to 1000 calories of heat.
How is particle movement related to thermal energy?
when a particle moves it rubs against other particle's causing thermal energy
What is the English measurement of thermal energy?
Traditionally the BTU (British Thermal Unit), but now we usually use kilojoules
How is kinetic energy is related to thermal energy?
kinetic energy is related to thermal energy because thermal energy is basically full of kinetic energy due to all the particles in motion.
How is thermal energy related to kinetic energy?
kinetic energy is related to thermal energy because thermal energy is basically full of kinetic energy due to all the particles in motion.
Is thermal energy stored energy?
No, thermal energy is the energy related to the temperature of something.
What is type of energy thermal energy is?
Thermal Energy is the kind of energy that is related to and/or caused by heat
Is degrees related to thermal energy?
The amount of thermal energy a substance has is proportional to its temperature
Do you use thermal energy every day?
Yes, your body uses a thermal energy known as caloric energy called "calories." A calorie is the amount of thermal energy required to heat one gram of water by one degree centigrade.
What did Robert brown say thermal energy was related to?
it was related light energy
How are thermal energy and the kenetic energy related?
The sum of the kinetic and potential energy of all the molecules in an object is the thermal energy
How are kenetic energy and thermal energy related?
The sum of the kinetic and potential energy of all the molecules in an object is the thermal energy
How are temperature thermal energy and heat related?
Temperature,heat and thermal energy all deal with kentic energy.
How are heat and Thermal energy related?
it is related because heat is temperature and temperature tells how fast molecules move and thermal energy is kinetic + potential energy
