Thermal energy
Thermal Energy → sum of the kinetic and potential energy of all the particles in an object; thermal energy of an object increases as temperature increases
Heat → thermal energy that flows from something at a higher temperature to something at a lower temperature
3
Thermal energy
Conduction → Transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter.
Radiation → Transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves. Occurs in gases only.
Convection → Transfer of thermal energy in a fluid by the movement of warmer and cooler fluid from place to place. Occurs in liquids & gases.

Thermal Energy
All objects want to reach thermal equilibrium. Or, they want their temperatures to be equal.
In order to make this happen, heat will move from the hotter object to the colder object.
Heat will stop flowing once the two objects reach the same temperature, or are at thermal equilibrium.
