What does the distribution of blackbody wavelengths depend on?

I think blackbody radiation depends on wavelength/frequency, Planck's constant(h), the speed of light(c), and temperature. I think temperature mainly affects the distribution of blackbody wavelengths as it affects its intensity and peak wavelength of emitted radiation

The distribution of blackbody wavelengths depends on the temperature of the object. This relationship is described by Planck's law, which states that as the temperature of a blackbody increases, the distribution of emitted wavelengths shifts toward shorter (higher energy) wavelengths. So, temperature plays a crucial role in determining the distribution of blackbody wavelengths.

Hi, sorry but I am really confused about what blackbody radiation is and how it relates to what else we've been learning in class?
