Why temperature of a body doesnt measure quantity of thermal energy?
Quantity of thermal energy is the TOTAL amount of energy put into a body. Temperature is related, at least roughly, to the AVERAGE energy per atom.
The measure of the quantity of matter that an object contains is called?
The "amount of matter" is a popular - and not very precise - term for the object's mass.
What is the English measurement of thermal energy?
Traditionally the BTU (British Thermal Unit), but now we usually use kilojoules
When light energy is absorbed by an object the energy is converted to?

What does the absorption of thermal energy from the ground do to earths surface?
The absorption of thermal energy from the ground heats the lower atmosphere and keeps Earth's surface much warmer than it would if there were no atmosphere. :)
