temperatures differ from thermal energy because differ because thermal energy is the total energy of all particles in an object and temperature is a measure of the average energy of random motion of particles of matter.
Thermal energy (heat)
yes the both are related because they both has energy and they are moving by object
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.
Because energy is related to the atomic mass of the substance (1/2 mv^2 and all that). So, at the same temperature a more massive substance has a greater thermal energy.
