You can look the up, for example in Wikipedia, for a detailed definition. Informally, you can think of them as two "laws of energy":

1) Energy conservation (energy can't be created or destroyed)

2) Usable energy is constantly being converted into unusable energy. This will continue until no more usable energy is left.

Is thermodynamics a law or theory?

Thermodynamics is both a law and a theory. It has a set of well-established laws, such as the first and second laws of thermodynamics, which describe the behavior of energy in systems. Additionally, the principles and concepts underlying thermodynamics are formulated into a theory to explain and predict the behavior of physical systems.
