The thermal energy transferred from a warmer object to a cooler object
Real World Example
Imagine you're at a crowded party, and one friend is monopolizing the conversation, talking non-stop while others barely get a word in. This scenario is similar to how thermal energy flows from a warmer object to a cooler object, as the warm object 'dominates' by transferring its energy to the cooler one. Just as the talkative friend 'transfers' their conversation to a quieter group, resulting in a more balanced discussion, thermal energy moves from the warmer object to the cooler one until both are at the same temperature, achieving equilibrium.
