What Wikipedia says

In thermodynamics, Newton's law of cooling is a physical law which states that the rate of heat loss of a body is directly proportional to the difference in the temperatures between the body and its environment. The (constant) coefficient of this proportional relationship is called heat transfer coefficient.
