OpenStudy (anonymous):

thermal energy is the TOTAL kinetic energy of the molecules/particles within a substance. temperature is the AVERAGE kinetic energy of particles in a substance. temperature is different but they are related. as thermal energy increases, temperature also increases.

Thermal energy is an example of kinetic energy, as it is due to the motion of particles, with motion being the key. Thermal energy results in an object or a system having a temperature that can be measured. Thermal energy can be transferred from one object or system to another in the form of heat.

it is a heat of any substance which can be transferred to one form to another
