Calorthic
The transfer of thermal energy by molecules bumping into each other is known as conduction. Thermal energy is energy that comes from heat.
Matter is needed to transfer thermal energy by conduction and convection. Conduction happens through a substance when there is a difference in thermal energies between regions. Convection is the movement within a fluid caused by hotter material to rise and colder material to sink and transfer heat.
Heat transfer by the vibration of particles occurs through the transfer of kinetic energy between adjacent particles. As particles vibrate, they collide with neighboring particles, transferring kinetic energy and increasing their thermal energy. This process continues throughout the material, leading to an overall transfer of heat energy.
Convection
Thermal energy is a transfer of kinetic energy from the movement of particles in a substance to another substance or area at a different temperature. This transfer causes the receiving substance to heat up and increase in temperature.

Radiation is the type of thermal energy transfer that does not require particles to take place. Radiation can occur through empty space and does not rely on the movement of particles like conduction and convection do.
Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy between materials due to collisions between particles. This process occurs in solids and is most effective in materials with high thermal conductivity, such as metals.
The thermal energy of a molecule is also its kinetic energy, so KE1i + KE2i = KE1f + KE2f. (1 and 2 = molecules; i and f = initial and final energies).
Thermal energy is the energy associated with the motion of particles in a substance. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. When particles in a substance move faster due to an increase in thermal energy, their kinetic energy also increases. This relationship between thermal energy and kinetic energy affects the overall energy transfer process by influencing how heat is transferred between objects or within a system. The higher the thermal energy, the more kinetic energy the particles have, leading to more efficient energy transfer through processes like conduction, convection, and radiation.
The answer is "partly". Thermal energy consists of the average kinetic energy of the particles (how much they move around, bumping into things and each other) and the average potential energy of the particles (tough to picture - how much they "shake back and forth", or oscillate, from their normal, resting position).
