Thermal energy is the total kinetic and potential energy of the  particles in a substance.    related to the motion of molecules   . Thermal energy. The amount of heat energy in an object depends on three things :  it's temperature, it's mass, and the material it's made from.
â¢ Temperature is measured in Kelvin whereas thermal energy is measured in Joule. â¢ An object can lose or gain thermal energy in a state transition without changing the temperature of the system.

Thermal energy is an internal energy for a given system. Thermal energy is the cause for the temperature of a system. Every system having a temperature above absolute zero has a positive thermal energy.
