What's the difference between _Equilibrium Temperature_ and _Effective Temperature_?

[@AstroPhil2000]

Equilibrium temperature refers to the temperature of planets and moons based on how they balance the energy they take in and give off. In contrast, effective temperature is a broader term used for stars, planets, and other celestial bodies, and it describes the total energy they radiate.
