Can you use the change in temperature to predict how long it will take for thermal equilibrium to be reached?

Using partial differential equations, you can estimate how long it will take to get within some difference between equilibrium and near-equilibrium. The mathematics predict that it will take infinite time to reach complete equilibrium, but for us humans we can settle for some difference that is so close as to make no difference to us.

How will heat stop moving?
When thermal equilibrium is reached.
Why the earth is not in thermal equilibrium with yhe sun?
To be in thermal equilibrium, it would have to have the same temperature. (It isn't.)
In Which way does thermal energy normally flow?
from higher temperature to lower temperature so lower.
What does zeroth law of thermodynamics states?
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...
Two bodies Are in rotational equilibrium if they are at the same temperature?
They are in thermal equilibrium, not rotational equilibrium.
Will heat stop moving?

Can order spontaneously appear in a macroscopic closed system which has reached thermal equilibrium?
No, order can't spontaneously appear in a macroscopic closed system which has reached thermal equilibrium.

Two objects are in thermal equilibrium if they?
if they have same temperature.
The fact that a thermometer takes its own temperature illustrates?
Thermal Equilibrium
What is a condition where all objects in a system are at the same temperature?
Thermal equilibrium
How is thermal equilibrium established?
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.
Which has maximum entropy of vaporization?
Maximum entropy is when thermal equilibrium is reached and no further vaporisation is possible.
