Best Answer
If you have an equilibrium state then the answer is "yes" the temperature of the liquid and the vapour will be the same.
In both cases you have a large volume of system to keep at the same temperature.
When you boil some water in a kettle the vapour soon loses heat to the cooler surrounding air and starts to condense back to a liquid.
That is the reason that you can see steam.
