No, temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles of a substance. Thermal energy is a term sometimes used to refer to the internal energy present in a system in a state of thermodynamic equilibrium by virtue of its temperature, or heat.

Why do reactants undergo an increase in temperature even though energy is emitted?
During the reaction, energy is initially used and the temperature is initially raised. Only near the end of the reaction does the energy "flow out."
What is the energy flow and the biomass in the taiga ecosystem?
fast energy flow in the biomass
What is the difference between the first and secong law of thermodynamics?
The first law of thermodynamic show that heat transfer is equal to work.But he does not give the direction as that system is consuming work or doing work. Whereas the second law of thermodynamic give the direction as (1) Heat can flow naturally from high temperature to low temperature.When heat is flowing from high temperature to low temperature he can produce work.(2)Heat can not flow naturally from low temperature to high temperature.for flowing heat from low temperature to high temperature he consume work. Second law of thermodynamic not only give the direction of heat flow but he also show entropy and quality of energy as high grade energy (mechanical work ) and low grade energy (heat).
What does flow of energy mean?
Energy Flow is the movement of energy, which originally comes from the sun, from one organism to another.
How is carbon related to the flow of energy between the environment and organism?
There are several different factors that control the primary productivity of energy and biomass flow. Energy flow is the amount of energy that moves through a food chain. The energy input, or energy that enters the ecosystem, is measured in Joules or calories. Accordingly, the energy flow is also called calorific flow. In the study of energy flow, ecologists try to quantify the importance of different species and feeding relationships.
Thermal energy flows from what to what?
Higher temperature to lower temperature. Thermal energy will always flow down the energy gradient.
What is the point at which the net flow of thermal energy between two objects at the same temperature is zero?
When the temperature of the two objects is equal, the Thermal Flow will stop.
What term refers to the flow of energy from an object at a higher temperature to an object at a lower temperature?
There are three ways thermal energy can be transferred: conduction, convection, and radiation.
What direction does thermal energy flow?
Thermal Energy always transfer from the higher temperature to lower temperature until both bodies reach the same temperature or in thermal equilibrium with each other.
Why do reactants undergo an increase in temperature even though energy is emitted?
During the reaction, energy is initially used and the temperature is initially raised. Only near the end of the reaction does the energy "flow out."
THE TERM heat most accurately describes?
the flow of energy due to to a temperature difference
What happens in terms of the tranfer of energy as heat when you hold a snowball in your hands?
Heat energy flows from the warmer (the hands in this case) to the cooler (the snowball). The flow of energy first raises the snowball's temperature (outer portion) to approximately zero degrees Celsius. Additional heat flow causes a phase change from snow (a form of ice) to water. This continues until all ice is converted. Further heat flow raises the temperature of any remaining water until it reaches skin temperature, when heat flow will cease.
Is heat the transfer of thermal energy from a higher temperature to a lower temperature?
The heat transfer is possible by conduction, convection and radiation.
What is the average kinetic energy of molecules?
increased as the temperature in increasedand go on YouTube.com and type this exactly(wolf is flow videos)
In Which way does thermal energy normally flow?
from higher temperature to lower temperature so lower.
Is Temperature the flow of energy from warm matter to cool matter?
No, certainly not.Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a body. The temperature of a thing is how strongly the little bits of that thing are shaking about. If they shake hard enough, meaning that the thing is hot enough, they shake the bits apart, so that the thing melts or evaporates.If I take something hot and put it against something cold, then the shaking of the molecules of the hot matter jostle the molecules of the cold matter, passing on some of their energy. To us that is a flow of heat energy from the hot matter to the cold.Get that straight! It is a flow of energy, not of temperature, and the temperature is not the flow!But, you say, suppose I take 10 grams of water at 95 degrees and put them against 10 grams of water at 35 degrees, I will get 20 grams at 65 degrees, right? How does that differ from a flow of temperature?Temperature does not flow; heat does. I chose that example carefully to make it look like a flow of temperature. Think of a different example: suppose that we put 10 grams of mercury at 95 degrees against 10 grams of water at 35 degrees; then we would get the whole lot at just about 37 degrees instead of 65 degrees, because it takes about 30 times as much heat to increase the temperature of one gram of water by one degree as it takes to heat one gram of mercury by one degree.Now, what happened to that "flow of temperature"?Get the picture?Heat will flow until the temperatures are the same all right, but the heat still is the only thing that flows.But, you say, isn't the temperature itself the flow?No, because if I have water at 95 degrees and I don't have it touching anything at a different temperature, then there is no flow of heat (or energy, if you like; same thing in our examples) and yet the temperature stays at 95. If the temperature were the flow, then zero flow would mean zero temperature, right? And do we get zero temperature? Not a bit of it; we get 95 degrees!Is this helping you get it straight? If not, ask again.
Does your body gain or lose thermal energy if your body temperature is 37 degrees Celsius and the temperature around you is 25 degrees Celsius?
You will lose thermal energy.Heat (energy) will always flow from warmer to cooler.
