In thermodynamics, thermal energy refers to the internal energy present in a system due to its temperature. The average translational kinetic energy possessed by free particles in a system of free particles in thermodynamic equilibrium (as measured in the frame of reference of the center of mass of that system) may also be referred to as the thermal energy per particle.

✨ Hope this Helps✨
