Although very cold, Pluto is still a few degrees off absolute zero. Zero kelvin is absolute zero, Plutos minimum reaches around 33 kelvin, 33 degrees above absolute zero.

Which law of thermodynamics states that it is impossible to reach absolute zero?

An object can never reach absolute zero in kinetic terms because there is never a total lack of kinetic energy, molecules are always moving.


Can space reach absolute zero?

NO, this is impossible. 0 K, or -273 *C can never be reached. In deep space, it can be 0.1 K or so, which is really cold. Heat 'spreads' from a hotter place to a colder, so if there were ever a place with absolute zero, some heat would immediately go there. Then, that point would probably reach a point possibly just above absolute zero.


Is absolute zero is equal to -273 degrees on the Kelvin scale?

Kelvin is defined in such a way that absolute zero is zero Kelvin.Kelvin is defined in such a way that absolute zero is zero Kelvin.Kelvin is defined in such a way that absolute zero is zero Kelvin.Kelvin is defined in such a way that absolute zero is zero Kelvin.


What is absolute zero and why is it impossible to achieve it?

Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature. Basically, the closer you get to absolute zero, the harder it becomes to get even closer. However, it is possible to get very, very close - temperatures of less than a microkelvin, i.e., a millionth of a degree above absolute zero, have already been achieved.


How do you get the absolute zero temperature?

All energy must be removed from the atoms. All atoms in the substance you want to reach absolute zero have to remain absolutely still, meaning that not even a single atom can move. If you take a piece of paper, you may think that the atoms of the paper are not moving, but they are actually vibrating. Thus, for a solid object to reach absolute zero, all atoms must stop vibrating.

What is the coldest temperature in existence?

Absolute zero, around -270 C.See related link.


Do molecules disappear at absolute zero?

No. They are as frozen still as they can ever be. It is said to be scientifically impossible to actually reach absolute zero.


How do you use the word absolute zero in a sentence?

Scientists hypothesize that the substance could reach the temperature of absolute zero. There were wrong. Absolute zero is the state of matter when none of its particles are moving.


Would you say that a dead body would reach absolute zero?

Nope; it would never go below room temperature. It is technically impossible to reach absolute zero


Is the planet Pluto about -500 degrees?

There is no such thing as -500 degrees. Absolute zero is -273.15ºC (=-459.67 F)Pluto's average temperature is about -230ºC


Is it possible to reach a temperature lower than absolute zero?

no


Who was the first person to try to reach ablolute zero?

Do you mean 'reached the concept of absolute zero'? I ask this because I was always told that you cannot reach absolute zero, because absolute zero is the the lowest temperature in the universe. It is like trying to go faster than the speed of light. It hasn't been reached, yet.


If the universe were able to reach absolute zero would all the matter in it be randomly distributed across space or uniformly distributed across space?

While there is matter in the universe it will not be able to reach absolute zero


Where on earth can you find absolute zero?

Neptune (Pluto was, but it is not a planet anymore. But, absolute zero is unreachable. Absolute zero is the temperature it would be if there was no matter. And since matter is everything, absolute zero is abolutly unreachable.
