Newton's Law of Heating describes how the rate of change of temperature of an object is proportional to the difference between its own temperature and the ambient temperature. This principle is fundamental in understanding heat transfer and is widely applied in thermodynamics and engineering to model the cooling or heating of objects.

Heat transfer is the process by which thermal energy moves from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature. It occurs through three primary mechanisms: conduction, convection, and radiation, each with distinct characteristics and applications.

Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that deals with the relationships between heat, work, temperature, and energy. It is fundamental in understanding how energy is transferred in physical systems and the limitations of energy conversion processes.
