The triple point is the specific temperature and pressure where a substance can exist in solid, liquid, and gaseous states simultaneously. Triple equilibrium is not the standard term for this concept. Thermal equilibrium refers to a state of no net heat transfer between objects. The critical point is where the liquid and gas phases of a substance become indistinguishable.
