Thermal Energy

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the heat of an object, which is a result of the movement of its particles. The faster the particles move, the more thermal energy they have. This form of energy can be transferred between objects, usually moving from warmer to cooler areas, which is why heat flows. Thermal energy is crucial in everyday life, influencing everything from cooking and heating our homes to how engines work and weather patterns develop. It plays a significant role in various scientific and engineering applications as well.
