Thermal energy (also called heat energy) is produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster
and collide with each other.The energy that comes from the temperature of the heated substance is called thermal energy.
Burning Questions
*Let's think about that cup of hot chocolate… The hot chocolate has thermal energy from its vibrating particles. When
you pour some cold milk into your hot chocolate, some of this energy is transferred from the chocolate to the particles
in the milk. So what happens? Your hot chocolate cools down because it lost some of its thermal energy to the milk.

What Do You Mean?
Thermal energy comes from a substance whose molecules and atoms are
vibrating faster due to a rise in temperature.
Heat energy is another name for thermal energy.
Kinetic energy is the energy of a moving object. As thermal energy comes
from moving particles, it is a form of kinetic energy.
