Here's a breakdown:
* Heat Transfer: When objects of different temperatures are in contact, heat energy flows from the hotter object to the colder object until they reach the same temperature.
* Thermal Equilibrium: Thermal equilibrium is the state where the rate of heat transfer between the two objects becomes equal. At this point, there is no further net flow of heat between them.
Important Note: Even though the objects reach the same temperature at thermal equilibrium, they may not necessarily have the same heat content. This is because objects have different heat capacities, meaning they require different amounts of heat energy to change their temperature.
