Yes it is.
The zeroth law of thermodynamics pertains to the concept of thermal equilibrium between two systems. It states that if two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other. This law establishes the transitivity of thermal equilibrium relationships.
The second law of thermodynamics dictates that heat energy will naturally flow from a hotter object to a cooler object when they come into contact. This law describes the direction of heat transfer between objects and the associated increase in entropy in the system.
The measurement of temperature is based on the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics, which states that if two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other. This allows for the establishment of a temperature scale and the comparison of temperatures between different systems.
The Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics establishes the concept of temperature and thermal equilibrium between two systems. It states that if two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other. The First Law of Thermodynamics, also known as the law of energy conservation, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another. It is a fundamental principle that governs the relationship between energy, heat, and work in a system.
The first and second laws were already formulated when the "zeroeth law" was suggested, however, the zero law is necessary in order to define the quantity "temperature" critical to the second law, so someone suggested just numbering it zero so that it would come before the already well established 1st and 2nd laws, rather than re-numbering them.

The "zeroeth" law defines thermal equilibrium. It also helps define the concept of temperature. Both of these are prerequisite assumptions and/or concepts that the first and second laws depend on.
It was found to be more fundamental than the other laws. It should therefore be the first law, but at that time, renumbering all the laws was deemed impractical, since the terms "First Law" and "Second Law" were already well-established.

William John Macquorn Rankine wrote in 1853:Definition of equal temperatures:Two portions of matter are said to have equal temperatures, when neither tends to communicate heat to the other.This appears to be the first formal statement of what we now call the zeroeth law. Clausius took it as a given in his work. It is one of those things that people commonly assumed but no one actually turned into a formal statement or law.
The four fundamental laws of thermodynamics are: the zeroth law (establishes temperature equilibrium), the first law (conservation of energy), the second law (entropy of an isolated system not decreasing), and the third law (impossibility of reaching absolute zero).
zeroth law is so called because before zeroth law 1st law was made. but after dat dis law was introduced, but dis law was more basic den 1st law. but dey cudn't change d name of 1st law as it was already given n had got recognision. so dis new law was given d name zeroth law as zero comes before one or say1st.....simple
