Lets start with what is thermal energy. Thermal Energy, or heat, is the internal energy in substances; it is the vibration and movement of the atoms and molecules within substances.Thermal energy is generated to measure by heat of any kind. It is caused by increased activity or velocity of molecules in a substance, which in turn causes temperature to rise accordingly. There are many naturalsources of a thermal energy on Earth, making it an important component of alternative energy.
