Any object resting on a table, on the floor, etc., is said to be in equilibrium.

Thermal equilibrium is when the temperature of a system or organism is equal to the temperature of its surroundings. It is part of the zeroth law of thermodynamics. The zeroth law is" if 2 things are at the same temperature, no heat will flow between them. If they are next to each other, they will be in thermal equilibrium. This means things at the same temperature are the same temperature. For example, if hot tea is in a room where it is cold, the tea will also become cold. If the tea is the same temperature as the room then they will stay the same temperature.
When two objects are in thermal equilibrium, not heat will flow between them - which is in accord with the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
This is also related to (but different from) the zeroeth law which states that if two objects are each in equilibrium with a third object, they must be in thermal equilibrium with each other.
thermal equalibrum. example: say its winter and you open the door the heat would go out to balance out the temperature inside and outside.
You have to write these "the following" for an answer.
Evaporation vs condensation
The same temperature.
This is the zeroth law of thermodynamics: objects at different temperatures will form a thermal equilibrium. The first law of thermodynamics says that energy can not be created or destroyed but can only change form. So the cooler object has to get hotter not the other way around.
Since hot water is less dense that cold air the hot water will rise and the cold would sink then it keeps doing this in a circular motion 'till the thermal energy reaches to thermal equilibrium.
No. An oven is an example of thermal energy.
from what i can find, it is only possible fro chemical energy to be transfered to thermal energy. burning wood is one example of this.

In thermal equilibrium, and only in thermal equilibrium, entropy is constant.
To be in thermal equilibrium, it would have to have the same temperature. (It isn't.)
because the earth and the sun is not in the thermal contact with each other that is why the earth & the sun is not in thermal equilibrium.
because the earth and the sun is not in the thermal contact with each other that is why the earth & the sun is not in thermal equilibrium.
They are in thermal equilibrium, not rotational equilibrium.
no
Consider 2 beakers of water, in one beaker, the temperature of water is above room temperature, and the other is below room temperature. They are left on a table (they are not in contact with each other), after some time, equilibrium is reached. Both beakers of water are at the same temperature. The two beakers become in thermal equilibrium with the surroundings, thus they are in thermal equilibrium with each other, and they are at the same temperature. I hope that it helps you...
Zeroth law of thermodynamics: If two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third system, they must be in thermal equilibrium with each other. This law helps define the notion of temperature.
No., because thermal property like conductivity, diffusivity of two material my not be same in other medium.

thermal equilibrium
Thermal equilibrium is established by the transfer of heat energy from the hotter object to the cooler object until both objects are at the same temperature.
