What is the transfer of thermal energy from one object to another due to a difference in temperature is known as?

The transfer of thermal energy when particles of a fluid move from one place to another is convection. Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold an object is compared to a reference point.
Another Answer
No. Heat (the term, 'thermal energy', is obsolete) is defined as 'energy in transit from a warmer body to a cooler body'. So a temperature difference is necessary for heat transfer to take place.
It is not heat it is convection.

What are 3 methods of heat transfer?
Heat (or thermal) energy is kinetic energy due to motion of atoms and molecules. It is energy that is in the process of being transferred from one object to another because of their temperature difference
How is heat related to thermal energy?
Heat is the transfer of thermal energy.
Is a thermometer a thermal insulator?
It depends on the material out of which the dish is made. Materials are considered conductive if they transfer heat faster than the surrounding medium and insulators of the transfer heat slower than the surrounding medium. If the medium is air, a glass dish will be a thermal insulator but a metal dish will be a thermal conductor.The rate at which heat flows through a material is related to its thermal conductivity.
What is the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves?
The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves is called electromagnetic radiation. Light, radio waves and X-rays are a few other examples of this radiation phenomenon. The Transfer process is the "flow" of particles from one location to another. The best visual example is the transfer of "heat" from one source to another.
Is heat the transfer of potential energy?
No. Heat is thermal energy
Heat is the transfer of thermal energy because of difference?
Heat is not the transfer of thermal energy. Heat is the thermal energy. What drives itacross a boundary between substances or objects is a difference in their temperatures.
What causes the transfer of thermal energy?
Thermal energy transfer from high temperature to low temperature. The cause of transfer is the temperature difference.
Which term describes the transfer of thermal energy from one object to another because of a difference in temperature?
heat

What is a thermal difference?
Simply put, a thermal difference is a difference in temperature between one object and another one, or one area of an object and another area of that same object.
Heat is the transfer of thermal energy because of difference.?
heat is the transfer of thermal energy because of difference in what?
How do you make heat transfer?
Heat transfer is the transition of thermal energy from a hotter mass to a cooler mass. When an object is at a different temperature than its surroundings or another object, transfer of thermal energy, also known as heat transfer, or heat exchange, occurs in such a way that the body and the surroundings reach thermal equilibrium; this means that they are at the same temperature. Heat transfer always occurs from a higher-temperature object to a cooler-temperature one as described by the second law of thermodynamics or the Clausius statement.
Heat is thermal energy transferred from one object to another because of a difference in what?
Temperature c;
What is the transfer of thermal energy from a high temperature to a low temperature?
That is called conduction.
What direction does thermal energy flow?
Thermal Energy always transfer from the higher temperature to lower temperature until both bodies reach the same temperature or in thermal equilibrium with each other.
Is heat the transfer of thermal energy from a higher temperature to a lower temperature?
The heat transfer is possible by conduction, convection and radiation.
What happens when there is a temperature difference between two object?
Temperature is a measure of the heat energy of objects, and heat is the energy transferred from a high temperature location to a low temperature location.When two objects are in contact, heat always flows from the warmer object to the cooler object by conduction, until thermal equilibrium is established and the heat transfer stops (becomes the same in either direction). The transfer of heat continues as long as there is a difference in temperature between the two points.
