From Wikipedia (this is completely accurate, thank you): Thor's father Odin decides his son needs to be taught humility and consequently places Thor (without memories of godhood) into the body and memories of an existing, partially disabled human: medical student Donald Blake. After becoming a doctor and on holiday in Norway, Blake witnesses the arrival of an alien scouting party. Blake flees into a cave and, after discovering Thor's disguised hammer Mjolnir and striking it against a rock, transforms into the Thunder God.
Defeating the aliens, Thor shares a double life with his alter ego: treating the ill in a private practice with nurse - and eventual love - Jane Foster and defending humanity from evil. Thor's presence on Earth almost immediately attracts the attention of his stepbrother and arch-foe Loki; who returns repeatedly to Earth in a bid to destroy Thor. Loki is also responsible for the emergence of three of Thor's principal foes: the Absorbing Man, the Wrecker, and the Destroyer. On one occasion, Loki's tactics are accidentally beneficial - although successful in using an illusion of the Hulk to draw Thor into battle with him in Asgard, it results in the formation of the superhero team the Avengers, of which Thor is a founding and longstanding member.
That's pretty much all you need to know.
