Internal energy is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance while temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance. When the temperature of an object changes due to the addition or removal of energy via heat, we tend to think of it as "thermal energy".
Thermal Energy
The total kinetic energy within a system
Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the heat of an object. It is the total kinetic energy of the particles within a substance, which is a result of their random motion. Temperature is a measure of the average thermal energy of the particles in a substance.
The total energy of particles in a material is called internal energy. It includes the kinetic and potential energies of the particles due to their motion and interactions within the material.
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance; it does not directly indicate the total amount of thermal energy. Thermal energy is the total kinetic and potential energy of particles in a substance. While an increase in temperature generally corresponds to an increase in thermal energy, it is not a direct measure of the total thermal energy in a substance.
Thermal energy is the term for total kinetic energy in a substance, according to a 5th grade science book. There may be other forms of energy in a substance, but thermal energy is the total kinetic energy.Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample.
Thermal Energy
The total kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance is called thermal energy. Thermal energy is measured in joules.
All states of matter have vibrating particles, but solids' particles vibrate only.
How does an increase in the total energy of the particles in a substance affect the thermal energy of the substance.
internal energy measures the total energy of the particles in a substance

thermal energy
The thermal energy of an object is the total kinetic energy of its particles due to their motion and the temperature of the object. It is a measure of the object's internal energy and is directly related to its temperature.
No, There could be atomic states (optically excited electronic energy levels of atoms, and of semiconductors for example) that can store energy which is not regarded as heat (which can be sensed by a thermometer). Magnets can store lots of energy which is not thermal. Thermal energy is the energy which is stored as vibrations of atoms and molecules, detected by a thermometer of some kind.
