' every atom has vibrational , rotational and translational motion even if the energy is not transfered to it provided the temperature of the system is not 0 K '
the air in your room consists of many molecules. every molecule has vibrational,  translational and rotational co-ordinate though we don't consider rotational motion in molecules having degree of freedom 3 due to less moment of inertia. so never confuse that only when you heat a gas its molecule has the above coordinate .
NOTE :  all degree of freedom might not excite at the same temperature.
