What is the best description of thermal energy

thermal energy is the energy stored in the chemical bonds of an object or substance
thermal energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position relative to earth
thermal energy is heat energy
thermal energy is the energy in matter due to the movement of its atoms and or molecules
I think that its c am i right

Actually, the correct answer is d) thermal energy is the energy in matter due to the movement of its atoms and/or molecules. Thermal energy refers to the internal kinetic energy of the particles in an object or substance, which is associated with their random motion. Heat energy (option c) is a form of thermal energy transfer, not the energy itself.

Yes, you are correct! Thermal energy is the energy in the form of heat. It is the total kinetic energy of the particles (atoms or molecules) that make up an object or substance. The higher the temperature, the greater the thermal energy. Additionally, thermal energy can be transferred from one object to another through processes like conduction, convection, and radiation.

Yes, you are correct.
