Question

What is the difrence beetween thermal energy and temperature

Answer 1

Answer: The difference between temperature and thermal energy is that temperature measures the average kinetic speed of molecules and thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of all particles in a given substance

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Hope this helps

Explanation:

Thermal energy, which is more commonly known as heat, is a form of energy. It is measured in joules. Thermal energy is an internal energy for a given system. Thermal energy is the cause for the temperature of a system.

Temperature is the measureable thermal property of a system. It is measured in Kelvin, Celsius, or Fahrenheit. The SI unit for temperature measurement is Kelvin.

Differences:

Thermal energy is not a directly measurable quantity whereas temperature is a measurable quantity.

• The temperature of an object can take negative values depending on the unit system used to measure the temperature, but the thermal energy of a system cannot be negative.

• Temperature is measured in Kelvin whereas thermal energy is measured in Joule.

• An object can lose or gain thermal energy in a state transition without changing the temperature of the system.
