Does the game consider heat damage "thermal damage" and does thermal resistance apply?

Just wondering if high thermal resistance helps against either internally created heat in the ship or heat from the sun, while scooping or getting too close...

No.
Options are:
1) Fly Right
2) Run Cool

Heat Sinks are for Sissys

No, Thermal Damage is external.

Heat damage is internal.

Thermal resistance resists external damage sources.
