Thermal energy is the term for total kinetic energy in a substance, according to a 5th grade science book. There may be other forms of energy in a substance, but thermal energy is the total kinetic energy.Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample.
The total kinetic energy of particles within a material refers to the sum of the energy due to the motion of all its constituent particles, including atoms and molecules. This energy is influenced by factors such as temperature and phase of the material; as temperature increases, the particles move faster, resulting in higher kinetic energy. In thermodynamics, this total kinetic energy is often associated with the material's internal energy, contributing to its thermal energy and potentially affecting its state and properties.
The total energy of particles in a material is called internal energy. It includes the kinetic and potential energies of the particles due to their motion and interactions within the material.

Thermal Energy
All states of matter have vibrating particles, but solids' particles vibrate only.
A thermometer measures the amount of thermal energy a material has. This thermal energy is related to the vibrational and rotational energy the particles in the material have. By using the thermometer to measure the temperature of a material you are, in effect, measuring the amount of energy the particles of that material have.
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".
The total penitential energy of the particles in an object is the sum of the gravitational potential energy of each particle. The kinetic energy of the particles in an object is the sum of the kinetic energy of each particle. The total energy of the particles is the sum of the penitential and kinetic energy.
Internal energy.
In microscopic particles it's called internal energy. In macroscopic particles it's called thermodynamic energy.
The total kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance is called thermal energy. Thermal energy is measured in joules.
