===Meaning===
The [[Thermal Energy Store]] is the [[Energy Store|energy store]] associated with an [[object]]s [[temperature]] which is itself due to the random motion of [[particle]]s within an [[object]].
===About the Thermal Energy Store===
: '''Thermal Energy''' linked to the [[Kinetic Energy Store|kinetic energy]] of the randomly moving [[particle]]s inside an [[object]].
: The '''thermal energy store''' of an [[object]] is related to three [[property|properties]] of the [[object]]:
*The [[mass]] of the [[object]].
*The [[temperature]] of the [[object]].
*The [[Specific Heat Capacity|specific heat capacity]] of the [[material]] which the [[object]] is made from.
