Thermal energy can be transferred by conduction, convection, or radiation. The formulae for the rate of transfer - if that's what you are after - vary, depending on which type of transfer is predominant.
it is a good thing i think R Value is the thermal resistance of a given material. The higher the R Value the more thermal resistance and the better the insulation. So, an R48 roof system is warmer than an R32 roof system. All insulation materials are rated by their R Value. An inch of rigid insulation has a higher R Value than an inch of fiberglass insulation. Check with the insulation manufacturer for the R Value.
Many things.Some of these are:movement of its point of suspension,precession caused by the earth's rotation,air resistance, wind,very massive objects brought nearby,thermal expansion or contraction,humidity or other factors altering the means of suspension.
people use thermal energy to cook and heat our bodies and for hot air balloons
