Internal energy
Potential energy is when the particles are at rest and kinetic energy is when the particles are in motion.
Macroparticles
The answer is "partly". Thermal energy consists of the average kinetic energy of the particles (how much they move around, bumping into things and each other) and the average potential energy of the particles (tough to picture - how much they "shake back and forth", or oscillate, from their normal, resting position).
Kinetic Energy+Potential Energy=Mechanical Energy (KE+PE=ME)
Cooler particles have less kinetic energy.
The total potential and kinetic energy of a MICROSCOPIC object is it's INTERNAL ENERGY.
In microscopic particles, it's called internal energy. In macroscopic object it's called thermodynamic energy
In microscopic particles it's called internal energy. In macroscopic particles it's called thermodynamic energy.

In microscopic particles it's called internal energy. In macroscopic particles it's called thermodynamic energy.
The sum of total energies of all microscopic particles is equal to the internal energy of that object.

The total kinetic and potential energy of its particles.
kinetic and potential
Potential energy is when the particles are at rest and kinetic energy is when the particles are in motion.
Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy.
