Here's a more detailed explanation:
* Thermal Contact: This means the two substances are able to exchange heat energy. They might be physically touching, or they could be separated by a material that allows heat transfer (like air).
* Heat Transfer: When there's a temperature difference, heat energy flows from the hotter substance to the colder substance.
* Thermal Equilibrium: This is the state where the heat transfer stops. The two substances have reached the same temperature, and there is no longer a net flow of heat between them.
