What is another word for thermal energy?
energy= joulesenergyenergy=joulesenergy=caloriesenergy=kelvinenergy=joulesenergy=caloriesenergy=kelvinEDIT: Another word for thermal energy is heat!AnswerI'm afraid the original answer is somewhat out of date!The term, 'thermal energy' is obsolete, and has been replaced by the term, 'internal energy'. 'Heat' is no longer thought of as being energy, but the process of transferring energy from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.
What energy is transmitted by direct contact or touch?
We apply the term conduction to the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact. The other two mechanisms that transfer thermal energy are radiation and convection.
What is the term for the measure of thermal energy in the atmosphere?
what is the term for the measure of thermal energy in the atmosphere
What term is used to describe how well various conduct thermal energy?
thermal conductivity The term for how substances conduct thermal energy is thermal conductivity.
Can thermal energy be stored in food?
No. In general, there is no way to store heat energy (thermal energy) long-term.
What is used to describe how well various substances conduct thermal energy?

How does the thermal energy of the cookies transferred to the counter?
Conduction is the term used to describe the transfer of heat energy from one body to another body when they are in contact with each other.
Another term for heat?
Thermal energy.
Another term for thermal energy is?
Heat
How does the thermal energy of a system change when work is done on The system?
Usually the "thermal energy" will increase since work ON the system adds energy. Thermal energy is really not the best term though. A much better term in thermodynamics would be ENTHALPY.
What is the thermal energy in the Earth called?
The term "geothermal energy" is often used.
Is there another term for specific heat?
Another specific term for heat is thermal energy for light it is radiant energy.
