Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body.

Energy is the ability to do work by a body. They are of two forms, potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is due to the position of a body whereas kinetic energy is due to the motion of a body.

Motion is the change in position of a body with time.

Temperature, energy and motion are all related.

Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy which is concerned about the motion particles. This form of energy results from heat changes in a body which causes temperature differences.

When a body is heat and changes temperature, the particles begins to vibrate as they gain, thermal energy, a form of kinetic energy. At a point, the particles will break lose and set in motion.
