Thermal+Energy+&+Heat

=**__Thermal Energy: __**=
 * The total energy of all the particles in a solid, liquid or gas
 * The more kinetic energy a solid, liquid or gas has, the more thermal energy it has
 * The larger the substance, the more amount of thermal energy
 * Even a larger substance with less heat will have more thermal energy than a smaller substance with more heat

=__Heat: __= 
 * The amount of thermal energy that transfers from an area/object of higher temperature to an area/object of lower temperature
 * Flows from one object to another
 * Heat can flow within large systemps (ie. oceans and the atmosphere)
 * Transferred in three ways: conduction, convection, and radiation
