Most atoms and molecules on Earth exist in their ground state, as the energy required to excite them is significantly higher than typical thermal energy levels. The thermal energy levels are generally stable, but they can cause atoms and molecules to vibrate between the ground state and excited states due to absorbed energy. Rotational states in molecules can frequently become excited and change rapidly in various media. The discussion raises questions about the stability of thermal energy levels and their implications for atomic behavior. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for various scientific applications.

Does a ground state of atom actually exist on our planet or every atom or molecule is just somehow excited because of all the energy flying around?
Most atoms and molecules are in the ground state, as the exited levels are usually of the order of ~1 electron volt away, which is much higher than usual thermal energy levels (~1/40 electron volt).

and are the thermal energy levels stable? can you work with them or is the state just vibrating between ground state and state evoked by absorbed thermal energy?
What do you mean by "are the thermal energy levels stable"?
Rotations in molecules and other stuff are often exited and change their state quickly in a medium.
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
i want to just test a linear generator with galvanometer , the magnet is N28 and the wire (Cu) is of 0.6mm thikness and 10m long , but galvanometer dont show anthing ,
The core is PLA material (3d printed)
The magnet size if 28mm * 10mm * 5mm
