Well, it is usually 120º in the same plane. However, sometimes that angle can be a bit smaller (around 111,4º), when there is a double bond (it acts like a non-bonding pair of electrons). For example Cl2CO (angles of 111,4º, 124,3º and 124,3º)

Trigonal planar is just that planar so in the plane you have 360 degrees rotation divided by 3, so angle between adjacent angle is 120.

There are 3 equal angles (360/3 = 120).

120 degrees. 3 atoms around a central atom is a 120 degree VSEPR. It can change with atom size, lone pairs, # of bonds, etc.
