No, but they are related. Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature. Absolute temperature is the temperature above this coldest possible temperature - i.e., how much hotter is it than the coldest theoretically possible temperature.

Celsius temperature isn't absolute. It starts from the temperature of freezing water,

and it needs negative numbers for anything colder than that.

Fahrenheit temperature isn't absolute. It says that zero is 32 degrees colder than

freezing water, and it needs negative numbers for anything colder than that.

Absolute temperature starts from absolute zero. Nothing is colder than that, so

absolute temperature is never a negative number.

Is there absolute maximum temperature like absolute zero minimum temperature?

No.


What is a temperature scale based on absolute zero?

A temperature scale based on absolute zero is the Kelvin scale. Absolute zero is the point at which particles have minimal kinetic energy. In the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is defined as 0 K, with temperature increments based on the same size as Celsius degrees.


What value do you expect for the absolute zero temperature for different gases?

The value of absolute zero temperature is the same for all gases, which is -273.15 degrees Celsius or 0 Kelvin.


What is the coldest temperature that can be recorded?

0 K or zero Kelvins, it is about the same as saying absolute zero.


What does absolute temperature mean?

Absolute temperature is the same as the Kelvin temperature scale. Zero degrees Kelvin is the lowest possible temperature, meaning that there is no heat at all. It is equal to minus 273 degrees Celsius.


What is meant by absolute zero temperature?

It is the coldest temperature. Nothing is colder than absolute zero. Scientists do know what happens in absolute zero because to get it to absolute zero, they have to put the object in something colder. But like mentioned above, nothing is colder than absolute zero. It is pretty much the end of the thermometer.


Is zero degrees Kelvin absolute temperature?

It is absolute zero.


What is the difference between kelvin and absolute kelvin?

Kelvin is the absolute temperature - a temperature where absolute zero, the lowest temperature possible, is defined as zero. Therefore, in the phrase "absolute Kelvin", the word "absolute" seems redundant.


What does the absolute temperature scale use as its reference temperature?

-459.67 F Which is absolute zero and that is the temperature at which all molecular activity stops.


What is the volume of an ideal gas at absolute zero temperature?

At absolute zero temperature, the volume of an ideal gas would theoretically be zero.


What effects would lower the temperature at absolute zero have on brownian motion?

You cannot lower the temperature if you are at absolute zero.


Is the speed of molecules at absolute zero temperature becomes double?

No, the speed of molecules at absolute zero temperature is zero. This is because at absolute zero, there is no thermal energy present to cause the molecules to move.
