Thermal Equilibrium when two objects with different temperatures touch and the hotter substance tranfers energy to the cooler substance until they reach the same temperature.When an objects are at thermal equilibrium there is no net change in either's thermal energy.
Conduction The transfer of thermal energy from direct contact of one objest to another.
conductors Objects theat conduct thermal energy well.
