Heat
The thermal energy transferred from a warmer object to a cooler object
Real World Example
Imagine you're trying to even out the temperature in a room by opening a window on a cold day. Just like how the cold air from outside mixes with the warm air inside, thermal energy naturally moves from a warmer object to a cooler one to reach equilibrium. In this analogy, the warm air inside is like the warmer object, the cold air outside is like the cooler object, and the window represents the pathway through which energy is transferred. So, just as opening a window allows air temperatures to balance, thermal energy flows from warm to cool to balance temperatures.
