Gathers radiant energy and turns it into heat?

Solar water heaters do this, They can be simple affairs mounted on a house roof, or on a larger scale mirrors can be used to capture radiation and focus it on a heat absorber.

no it does not store chemical energy it turns into thermal energy:)


A process that converts chemical energy into thermal energy?

When something burns is how chemical energy turns into thermal energy like getting a lighter and burning paper.


When the energy conversions that occur when coal is formed and then burned to produce thermal energy?

It turns into energy


When wood burns is it thermal energy converted to chemical energy?

No, it's the other way around. Burning releases the chemical energy in wood and turns it into thermal energy(heat.

What happens when you remove thermal energy from a gas?

It turns into a liquid. Just like if you were to remove thermal energy from a substance the atoms will slow down.


What sport involves transforming chemical energy into kinetic energy as useful energy and thermal energy as waste energy?

well one of the sports are football,socer and relay races these all have the chemical energy when you eat it turns to kinetic energy by you jogging,running,skipping and more that turns to thermal by when you sweat the sweat is cooling your skin


How are changes in thermal energy and state of matter realted?

If the thermal energy is higher, then the particles in the object move faster and want to get away from each other because it is so hot, thus, its a gas. If the thermal energy is lower, then the particles in the object move slower and form a solid shape, like they are huddling together, thus, its a solid. If the thermal energy is right in between the two above, then it is a liquid. A great example is H2O, it is the base measurement of density, when its thermal energy rises, it turns into water vapor, if its thermal energy lowers, it turns to ice.


How come you olny get a fraction light energy from the sun?

Some bounces off you and some turns into thermal energy.
