Here's why:
* Temperature: A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles within a substance.
* Thermal Contact: When two bodies are in contact, they can exchange heat energy.
* Heat Flow: Heat energy flows from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature.
* Equilibrium: When the two bodies reach the same temperature, there is no longer a net flow of heat between them, and they are said to be in thermal equilibrium.
