What makes up the thermal energy of an object?
The thermal energy of an object consists of the vibrations or other motions (depending on phase; molecules in a solid move very differently than molecules in a gas) of the particles (normally atoms or molecules) of which that object is composed. Faster motion means higher temperature.
Where is most of thermal energy stored?
Thermal energy is just mechanical energy on a molecular level (e.g. the motion of individual molecules). Therefore, thermal energy is stored in every molecule of the subject.
Why is kinetic energy changed to thermal energy when you rub your hands together?
Because when you rub your hands together, it causes the molecules on your hand to move in random motion, which is thermal energy.
Does two objects at different temperature have same thermal energy explain?
No,two objects at different temperature does not have the same thermal energy because both objects have different temperature .object with high temperature has more thermal energy and the object with low temperature has less thermal energy.
What is the transfer of thermal energy by molecules bumping into each other?
The transfer of thermal energy by molecules bumping into each other is known as conduction. Thermal energy is energy that comes from heat.

Is there a change in an objects thermal energy if the object is at thermal equilibrium?
no

Because when you rub your hands together, it causes the molecules on your hand to move in random motion, which is thermal energy.
What happens to molecules as they are heated?
The individual atoms vibrate more rapidly because they are being fed kinetic/thermal energy from the heat which they translate into movement.
How is energy transferred through empty space?
Thermal energy can refer to the molecular energy in a substance, which can be transmitted by the movement of the molecules affecting adjacent molecules. Thermal energy is also a form of radiation and as such is transmitted through a vacuum until it hits an object, which is then heated by it until the two objects reach an equilibrium in temperature.
Does two objects at different temperature have same thermal energy explain?
No,two objects at different temperature does not have the same thermal energy because both objects have different temperature .object with high temperature has more thermal energy and the object with low temperature has less thermal energy.

The transfer of thermal energy by molecules bumping into each other is known as conduction. Thermal energy is energy that comes from heat.
Why is thermal energy hard to store?
Heat has a tendency to flow from hotter objects to colder objects. This can be reduced with thermal insulation, but not entirely stopped.
Is temperature the measure of thermal energy?
it is a measure of moving molecules, or molecules in motion
When objects get hotter what kind of energy do they have?
Thermal
Do all objects have thermal energy?
Yes
