Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, KE=mv2/2.

Thermal energy is different from kinetic energy.

Thermal energy is associated with the temperature of a body, the heat gained by increasing the temperature. That heat gives molecules more kinetic energy and more potential energy and may also give molecules more more electronic energy.
