If a hot body and a cold body are brought into contact with each other, they finally attain the same temperature. The hot body emits heat while the cold body absorbs energy continually, although in unequal quantities. The exchange process continues until the temperatures equalize. Each object is then absorbing and emitting equal amounts of energy and the objects are said to be in thermal equilibrium.

Thermal equilibrium is the subject of the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics. Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics. The "zeroth law" states that if two systems are at the same time in thermal equilibrium with a third system, they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.
