Thermal (heat) energy can be transferred by conduction, convection, radiation and evaporation. Radiation is the fastest of these since the transfer is via electromagnetic waves, from the infra red part of the spectrum. So the simple answer is the speed of light, 300 million metres per second in a vacuum.

What else can I help you with?
What is the process by which thermal energy is transferred through electromagnetic waves?
The process by which thermal energy is transferred through electromagnetic waves is called radiation.
What do you call thermal energy that is transferred?
Heat.
What is the term for when thermal energy is transferred between two objects?
The term for when thermal energy is transferred between two objects is called heat transfer.
A material in which thermal energy is transferred slowly is a?
Material with low thermal conductivity.
Thermal in a sentence?
Thermal energy is the internal energy of a substance due to the movement of its particles, which can be transferred as heat.
In an air conditioner how is thermal energy transferred?
Thermal energy is transferred from areas of higher temperatures to areas with lower temperatures.
What is it called when thermal energy is transferred?
kinetic energy
When thermal energy is transferred it is called what?
kinetic energy

In a four stroke engine chemical energy is transferred to what energy?
thermal energy
How is thermal energy transferred from the sun?
By the process of Radiation
Which property will eventually be the same for two objects after thermal energy is transferred between them?
The final temperature of the two objects will be the same once thermal energy has been transferred between them.
What happens to the molecules that cause the thermal energy to be transferred?
In a material, such as a solid, liquid or gas, the molecules that carry thermal energy transfer their energy to neighboring molecules through collisions. As a result, the thermal energy is transferred from regions of higher temperature to regions of lower temperature until thermal equilibrium is reached.
