: '''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 greater the [[mass]] the greater the '''thermal energy''' of the [[object]].*The [[temperature]] of the [[object]]. - The greater the [[temperature]] the greater the '''thermal energy''' of the [[object]].*The [[Specific Heat Capacity|specific heat capacity]] of the [[material]] which the [[object]] is made from. - The greater the [[Specific Heat Capacity]] the greater the '''thermal energy''' of the [[object]].
