Thermal energy transfers from the warmer object.
The object with the lower average temperature will take heat from the other object until both objects have the same temperature.
If the contact is good, then energy (heat) will pass from the object at a higher temperature to the one at a lower temperature until the temperatures of the two bodies are equal. This precludes cases such as a burning match stick touching a flammable object and such
If you mix a hot liquid and a cold one, the heat from the hot liquid will flow to the cold liquid, reducing the heat of the overall liquid.
earth has the smallest range of temperatures
conduction occurs...
Conduction of heat means that two objects with different temperatures are touching each other. The heat of the hotter object generally transfers to the cooler object. In the hotter object, molecules are moving faster. The vibration from these molecules causes the molecules in the cooler object to vibrate faster, which translates into heat.
heat mobe from the warmer object
Because they have different temperatures and when you measure an object's temperature, you measure the average kinetic energy of all the particles in the object.

Thermal energy travels by conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction occurs when two or more objects of different temperatures are touching each other. The heat flows from the warmer object to the cooler object, until the objects reach equal temperatures. Convection is the transfer of thermal energy through a moving liquid or gas. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy though matter and space.
Electrostatic induction allows an object to produce a charge in another object without touching.
