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).
The thermal energy.The thermal energy.The thermal energy.The thermal energy.
Energy and matter are transferred from one organism to another at the microscopic level.
Thermal energy is heat. More heat is more thermal energy.
THERMAL ENERGY
Not quite sure what you mean with "thermal light".* Light, and other electromagnetic waves, come in small "packets", or particles, called "photons" in this case. * Electrical energy is carried by charged particles, for example electrons, holes, or ions.
At the microscopic level, heat energy is the kinetic energy of the individual molecules.
Thermal energy is just mechanical energy on a molecular level (e.g. the motion of individual molecules). Therefore, thermal energy is stored in every molecule of the subject.
Internal energy at the microscopic level and thermodynamic or mechanical energy at the macroscopic level. According to conservation of energy the sum of kinetic and potential energy is zero.

No. Solar power is not the same as thermal energy. Thermal energy is the random kinetic motion of microscopic molecule. Solar power on the other hand is derived from electromagnetic waves. For example: lets take a plant. If you put a plant in a dark room and heat the plant, the plant will still die even though it is supplied with thermal energy. However if you now add light(of specific wavelengths) the plant will thrive. So the plant can discern the difference between thermal energy and solar energy. Hope that helps

"Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat".
Internal energy is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance while temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance. When the temperature of an object changes due to the addition or removal of energy via heat, we tend to think of it as "thermal energy".

any chance you in mrs. black's class? I think it's thermal energy, btw
