(N/A) The Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics provides the fundamental basis for the concept of temperature.
Temperature is defined as a physical property that acts as a marker of the 'hotness' or 'coldness' of a body.
It determines the direction of the flow of heat when two bodies are placed in thermal contact.
Heat naturally flows from a body at a higher temperature to a body at a lower temperature.
This flow of heat continues until the temperatures of both bodies equalize,at which point the two bodies are said to be in thermal equilibrium.
