True!
what is the term for the measure of thermal energy in the atmosphere
Quantity of thermal energy is the TOTAL amount of energy put into a body. Temperature is related, at least roughly, to the AVERAGE energy per atom.
The "amount of matter" is a popular - and not very precise - term for the object's mass.
Traditionally the BTU (British Thermal Unit), but now we usually use kilojoules
atmosphere, land and water Also Thermal Energy!

A vehicals brakes convert kinetic energy into thermal energy through friction and dissipate the thermal energy into the atmosphere
it is thermal energy
convection

The absorption of thermal energy from the ground heats the lower atmosphere and keeps Earth's surface much warmer than it would if there were no atmosphere. :)
