A:
Without getting into the picky points about how the words are used
precisely, heat energy is the energy involved in all the little random,
small-scale jigglings of things. For example molecules bounce around
randomly and squish into each other. The motion has kinetic energy and
the squishing has potential energy, like a compressed spring.
