It mean, it had high temperature difference to the surrounding.
Quality of thermal energy is upon the temperature due to thermodynamics efficiency. At same thermal energy of 100 kJ refer to 0 oC ambient, a hot bath of 100 oC may have maximum theoretical thermal efficiency of 27% or 27 kJ usable but a hot steam of 200 oC may have maximum theoretical thermal efficiency of 42% or 42 kJ usable.

What converts chemical energy to thermal energy?
chemical energy in batteries to thermal energy.
The total kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance is called?
The total kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance is called thermal energy. Thermal energy is measured in joules.
Why is chemical energy the energy that is converted to thermal energy?
Various kinds of energy may be converted into thermal energy.In a fire it is chemical energy that is converted to thermal energy.However:In a nuclear reactor, nuclear energy is first converted to thermal energy, and eventually to electrical energy.In a fire chemical energy is also converted to light energy.In a battery chemical energy is converted to electrical energy.In braking systems kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy.
If efficiency of converting chemical to thermal energy was 90 percent what would the overall efficiency be?
In saying what the overall efficiency would be, I suppose you mean for other processes, creating the chemical energy for example, and using the thermal energy. This is impossible to answer, not knowing what these processes are.
The sum of the kinetic and potential energy of the molecules of a substance?
thermal
What is gases thermal energy?
high
How are thermal energy and temperature similare?
Temperature is what is used to measure thermal energy The more thermal energy a substance has, the more warmer it will be. So when the temperature is high, there is a lot of thermal energy Thermal energy is just energy. It refers to the energy of the molecules. Temperature is just a measurement
Is the sun an example of thermal energy?
The Sun HAS lots of thermal energy, if that's what you mean.
What is the opposite of thermal energy?
There is no opposite of thermal energy.Thermal energy is energy that comes from heat, and therefore comparable to temperature. There is no "opposite of temperature," and there is no "opposite of thermal energy."If an object has high thermal energy, it is hot. The opposite of that would be having low thermal energy, or being cold.
How is sound energy and thermal energy alike?
Temperature is what is used to measure thermal energy The more thermal energy a substance has, the more warmer it will be. So when the temperature is high, there is a lot of thermal energy Thermal energy is just energy. It refers to the energy of the molecules. Temperature is just a measurement
Does liquid iron has less thermal energy or more thermal energy?
Iron naturally exists in solid state and heat is required for its liquifaction so liquid iron has high thermal energy.
What causes the transfer of thermal energy?
Thermal energy transfer from high temperature to low temperature. The cause of transfer is the temperature difference.
A what is a material through which energy can be easily transferred as heat?
Any material which has high thermal conductivity can easily transfer energy as heat. As far as I know, all metals have high thermal conductivity. Copper, gold and silver especially have high thermal conductivity. Diamond and graphene have VERY high thermal conductivity, so this is not restricted to only metals.
What does hendothermic mean?
Is the amout of energy, in a thermal deduction.
Does two objects at different temperature have same thermal energy explain?
No,two objects at different temperature does not have the same thermal energy because both objects have different temperature .object with high temperature has more thermal energy and the object with low temperature has less thermal energy.
Does a high-efficiency machine degrade a relatively high or low percentage of energy to thermal energy?
It degrades a low percentage.
What name is given for the transfer of thermal energy from areas of high thermal energy to areas of low thermal energy?
This is the second law of thermodynamics. This law states that heat naturally flows from higher temperatures to lower temperatures.
