A set of outcomes are said to be equally like if the probability for the occurrence of any of the is the same as that for any other. The phase, "at random" is used to indicate that the probability for each individual outcome is the same.

What are equally likely event?

Two events that have the same chance of happening. For example, if I flip a coin the event of obtaining a 'head' is equally as likely as the event of obtaining a 'tail'. But equally likely does not mean 0.5 probability.

Neither event is very likely but the two events could be equally likely.

What does equally likely mean in spinners if one is red two is blue one and is green?

It means the probability is equal for all of them. If you were to grab one the chances of grabbing another are the same. But in this case it is only equally likely for the red and the green. But if you were to grab two the chances would be equally likely because of the amount of spinners.
