In all cases, heat flows from where it's hot to where it's not. Can water flow uphill? Heat cannot flow from something cold to something hot. This would be a violation of thermodynamic laws. Oh, there might be something out there that can operate that way, that is, cause heat to flow from cold objects to hot ones, but it is doubtful that a physicists could visualize this and how it could work. It would be easier to explain why water flowed uphill. Possible, but not in any way we know. Note: Let's not split hairs with this one and say that any body that is not a 0 K will radiate heat. Stick with the basics. The warmer object will radiate "more" heat and cool down while warming a colder object. It's a simple and straight forward thermal gradient, which is a difference of temperature that sets up "heat pressure" causing thermal energy to move from hot to cold.
Heat Transfer is the study of how heat flows through objects. Any object that has temperature wants to dissipate it into surrounding objects and to colder objects. If the surrounding objects or air is at the same temperature, then heat will not flow. Some materials conduct heat more than others. Heat can be transferred into flowing gases and air. There is no such thing as cold flow. Rather it the flow of heat such that it cools one area and moves it to another area where it is dissipated.
It always flows from a body of higher temperature to a body of lower temperature.
Comment
---except that this is called 'heat', not 'thermal energy'. Thermal energy is an obsolete term for what we now call 'internal energy'.
its pretty much heat that u make yourself---->body-heat. or the sun has thermal energy due to endless(not really) explotions to make it a great big fire-ball! thus that heat comes down to the earth.
Heat energy always flows from the "warmer" object to the "cooler" object.
heat flows from
warmer to cooler
from medium to another
Higher temperature to lower temperature. Thermal energy will always flow down the energy gradient.
the flow of thermal energy
When they are in thermal contact and their temperatures are the same there is no NET flow of energy. If the objects are both thermally insulated there will be no flow of energy at all.
thermal energy will always radiate to lower energy matter.
In Parallel Lines
heat
Higher temperature to lower temperature. Thermal energy will always flow down the energy gradient.
the flow of thermal energy
because thermal energy always flows from warmer matter to cooler matter
The flow of thermal energy is called heat transfer. It is through the various means of heat transfer that thermal energy moves from one place to another. Heat moves from where it is hot to where it is not. Always. Think it through and it will make perfect sense.
Thermal Energy always transfer from the higher temperature to lower temperature until both bodies reach the same temperature or in thermal equilibrium with each other.

Heat is thermal energy. Always.
yes it is
yes or no ______________________________________ yes
You will lose thermal energy.Heat (energy) will always flow from warmer to cooler.
When they are in thermal contact and their temperatures are the same there is no NET flow of energy. If the objects are both thermally insulated there will be no flow of energy at all.
