===Meaning===
[[File:Diffusion.gif|right|300px|thumb|'''[[Thermal Energy Store]]'''
The '''energy store''' associated with the temperature of an object. The higher the temperature the more the particles vibrate and faster they move in the material '''storing energy'''.]]
The [[Thermal Energy Store]] is the an [[Energy Store]] associated with the [[temperature]] of an [[object]].

===About The Thermal Energy Store===
: The hotter an [[object]] the more [[energy]] in the '''thermal energy store'''.
: The more [[mass]] an [[object]] has the more energy in its '''thermal energy store'''.
: Different [[material]]s can store different amounts of [[energy]] at the same [[temperature]].

===Examples===
{| class="wikitable"
|+ An object has more energy in the thermal energy store when it is a higher temperature.
