Temperature and Thermal Energy.

AB
Fahrenheit scale -the most common temperature scale in the United States.
Celsius scale -the temperature scale used in most of the world.
Kelvin scale -is the temperature scale commonly used in physical science
Absolute zero -is the temperature when no more energy can be removed from the matter.
Temperatureis a measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles.
Thermal energyis the total energy of all the particles.
Heatis the thermal energy moving from a warmer object to a cooler object.
In process of conduction,heat is transferred from one particle of matter to another without the movement of matter itself.
Convectiontransfers heat within a fluid(a liquid or a gas) by the movement of currents.
Radiationis the transfer of energy by electronic waves.
Insulatoris the material that does not conduct heat well.
Specific heatis the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1k.
