All of the responses are accurate. Thermal equilibrium is achieved between two objects when they have the same temperature and there is no further transfer of heat between them. This occurs when the particles in both objects have equal kinetic energy. If one object is initially hotter than the other, heat will transfer from the hotter object to the cooler one until their temperatures equalize, resulting in thermal equilibrium.
