Radiant Energy is not potential energy. They are two different things. Radiant energy is another word to say light energy. Potential energy is when an object not moving. To be specific, an object sitting on a shelf collects kinetic energy so when you knock it over, it falls because of gravity.

Does thermal energy possess potential energy?

Yes, thermal energy can possess potential energy when it is stored in a system and has the potential to do work.


What is potential thermal energy?

Thermal potential energy is energy that is formed by heat and the sun.


What is the relationship between thermal energy and potential or kinetic energy?

Thermal energy is related to potential and kinetic energy because it is a form of energy that results from the movement of particles within a substance. When potential or kinetic energy is transferred to particles, they move faster and their thermal energy increases. In turn, thermal energy can be converted back into potential or kinetic energy through various processes.
