Explain why a pond at 18 °C has more thermal energy than a cup of boiling water at
100 °C.

Answer 1

It is because heat energy depends on the mass of the body, the pond has more molecules than that of the cup of boiling water, hence more kinetic energy and hence more heat/thermal energy.

Answer 2

The pond has more energy because I is so much larger that the Cup of boiling water. Since that mass of the pond is so much larger, It is generating more energy than a boiling cup of water.
