In empty space, heat is transferred through radiation.
The container that has more thermal energy would be the one with a higher temperature. Thermal energy is directly proportional to temperature, so the container with a higher temperature would have more thermal energy.
On Earth, the greatest source of thermal energy would be at the earth's core.
No, thermal energy is the last form of energy degradation. All energy will eventually transformed to thermal energy. Even the motion of wave (kinetic energy) would eventually loss through shear and friction and transformed to thermal energy.
There are three mechanisms by which thermal energy (heat) is transferred through space: conduction, convection, and radiation.1Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through empty space. All objects with a temperature above absolute zero radiate energy at a rate equal to their emissivity multiplied by the rate at which energy would radiate from them if they were a black body. No medium is necessary for radiation to occur; radiation works even in and through a perfect vacuum. The energy from the Sun travels through the vacuum of space before warming the earth. Also, the only way that energy can leave earth is by being radiated to space.The transfer of thermal energy through space is called Radiation
Yes, the thermal energy of a substance depends on its mass because thermal energy is a form of internal energy related to the motion of particles within the substance. More particles in a larger amount of substance would have more kinetic energy, contributing to a higher thermal energy.
A black hole would have more thermal energy than the moon.
It would be added thermal energy to break intermolecular attractions
Conduction is the slowest method of thermal energy transfer in gases. Radiation is the fastest method of thermal energy transfer in gases.
Correct, the total thermal energy in a cup and a pot of tea at the same temperature would be the same. However, the pot of tea would have more thermal energy per unit volume compared to the cup, as it contains more tea.
There is no opposite of thermal energy.Thermal energy is energy that comes from heat, and therefore comparable to temperature. There is no "opposite of temperature," and there is no "opposite of thermal energy."If an object has high thermal energy, it is hot. The opposite of that would be having low thermal energy, or being cold.
A hot cup of coffee or tea that has been sitting on a desk would contain thermal energy.
it would be radiation
