Every object with a temperature above absolute zero (that's -273.15°C or 0 Kelvin for those who love trivia) has internal energy. Yep, even that ice cream you're about to eat!

• Random Motion: Think of atoms and molecules in an object like hyper kids on a sugar rush! They're always bouncing around, and that movement is energy.
• Intermolecular Potential Energy: Atoms and molecules have a personal space, just like you! When they come close to each other, they have potential energy due to their positions.

💡 Fun Fact: The hotter the object, the more hyper those atoms and molecules are, meaning more internal energy!

Energy is a bit of a gossip. It loves to move from a hot (high temperature) region to a cooler (low temperature) one, just like how rumors spread!
