Thermal energy. Entropy goes maximum. Order goes minimum. Temperature is the same everywhere.
It is a fundamental that energy can neither be created or destroyed just changed from one form to another.
Any fire. Your car. You. (All are changing chemical energy into motion and heat.)
When energy changes from one form to another some energy gets turned into work or heat. Due to the laws of thermodynamics you can not complete transfer all energy from one form to another without doing work (letting out or gaining heat).
All form of energy would eventually convert to heat, largest heat sink in the universe is space. Earth continue losing heat to space by radiation heat transfer. Absolute temperature of space is slightly higher than 0 K.
After about another five billion years, the sun will burn out, and the process of nuclear fusion that has kept the force of gravity from collapsing it will cease to be powerful enough to counter it. The sun will then collapse into a White Dwarf, which is an incredibly dense and comparatively small piece of matter. The white dwarf, will, eventually, cool down into a small, black, non-radiant, cold cinder. The white dwarf is actually extremely dense, with one piece the size of a matchbox weighing in at the same weight as a full-grown African Elephant.
potential energy is the form of energy
All the energy on Earth comes from the Sun. All the energy that Earth uses is either stored as "potential energy" or radiated away as heat.
No, thermal energy is the last form of energy degradation. All energy will eventually transformed to thermal energy. Even the motion of wave (kinetic energy) would eventually loss through shear and friction and transformed to thermal energy.

When the particles of a liquid gain energy some of them can escape from the surface, and if eventually all of them do this a gas will form. We call this evaporation. If there is sufficient energy for all of them to escape at once, they all move to be far apart and we say the liquid boils.

heat. when there is transformation of energy from one form to another, there is a loss of heat energy. even when a form of energy is changed to heat energy, not all of the energy is transformed to heat, energy transformation is never 100%
