Thermal energy is a specific type of energy that all objects have. Heat refers specifically to the TRANSFER of this type of energy. I believe this is similar to the difference between "mechanical energy" and "work" (where "work" refers to the transfer of such energy).
However, the two terms are actually often used interchangeably.
There is no particular difference between heat and thermal energy. Heat is a form of thermal energy. Since thermal energy is energy from heat, heat and thermal energy are basically the same thing.
Thermodynamics is the study of the relationship between thermal energy and heat and work.
one is energy and one is heat
Heat is the transfer of thermal energy between two objects due to a difference in temperature. Thermal energy is the internal energy of an object due to the motion of its particles. An object can store thermal energy, but it does not "contain" heat in the same way since heat refers to the transfer of energy between objects.
No, the same
"Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat".
Thermal energy is heat. Temperature is a measure of the concentration of heat energy.
Heat is the transfer of thermal energy between objects due to a temperature difference. Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of particles in an object and is what determines its temperature. When heat is added or removed from an object, it changes the thermal energy and consequently the temperature of the object.

Yes! Thermal is just a synonym for heat.AnswerNo. The terms, 'thermal energy' (and 'heat energy') are long-obsolete. The modern term for what used to be called 'thermal energy' or 'heat energy' is 'internal energy'. These days, 'heat' is considered not to be a 'form of energy', but energy in transit between a higher temperature to a lower temperature.

Heat and thermal energy are related but distinct concepts in physics. Heat refers to the transfer of energy between objects due to a temperature difference, while thermal energy is the total internal energy of an object due to the motion of its particles. The key distinction between the two is that heat is the transfer of thermal energy from a hotter object to a cooler object, while thermal energy is the total energy stored within an object's particles.
