This is just the rough answer, as I am looking for more details myself... but Kelvin was trying to discover at what temperature the ideal gases turned to liquid (He, H, etc), and he then used those numbers to plot a line that supposedly gave him the temperature that would mean there was no 'energy' left in a substance, and thus be as cold as it cold possibly be. There are flaws to his theory, but it is called Kelvin because of him. Keep in mind that it is likely that there are temperatures colder than 'absolute zero'... currently they are called 'negative temperatures'. Some people postulate that below a certain temperature that the matter would actually contain *more* energy than at a relative 'absolute zero', and if both of those turn out to be 'facts' then pretty much the whole idea of 'absolute zero' is blown out of the water 'so to speak'. Nova has a great special called Absolute Zero that you can rent from Netflix that tells about the history of 'cold'. I recommend it to anyone interested in this topic.
0K. This is because the definition of "absolute zero" is the lowest possible temperature of anything. The Kelvin temperature was designed to simply be an offset of Celsius (so a change of 1°C is equal to a change of 1K) with 0K being absolute zero.
Absolute zero is zero on the Kelvin scale, so ... zero.
This is called absolute zero. The temperature is 0 Kelvin or -273.15 degrees Celsius.
The point where all molecules stop moving, in theory, is absolute zero.
"Absolute zero" (Zero Kelvin) is a theoretical temperature, at which all atomic motion stops. This temperature can't be reached in practice, but we can get very close. Laboratories on Earth have reached temperatures of less than a microKelvin (millionth of Kelvin, or millionth of a degree from absolute zero). In outer space, it usually doesn't get much colder than about 3 Kelvin, because of a background radiation equivalent to that temperature.
Yes, molecules are constantly vibrating due to heat, absolute zero is when they stop vibrating, absolute zero is zero in Kelvin which is -459.7 F and -273.15 C
The temperature is absolute zero, a minimum temperature of matter based on continually reduced molecular motion. (Although absolute zero cannot be attained, it is possible to get very very close, to about 170 billionths of a kelvin.) Absolute zero is approximately -273.15 °C

zero Kelvin.
It is Absolute Zero. On the Kelvin scale there are no negative numbers...so therefore absolute zero on the kelvin scale is zero. All we might add is that absolute zero is --273.15 degrees C.
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.
It is absolute zero.
The Kelvin scale is zero at Absolute Zero ! Absolute Zero is -273C, hence add the Celsius figure to 273 to get the Kelvin figure
Absolute zero (zero kelvin) is -273.15 C
Absolute zero.
Absolute zero in Kelvin is defined as 0 degrees. This is -273.15 degrees celcius. It was determined by extrapolating the gas and pressure of an ideal gas as it approaches the point where all of its particles stop vibrating. The closest we have gotten to absolute zero is 10^-15 degrees kelvin. Hope that helps.
On the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is 0 degrees Kelvin. On the Celsius scale, absolute zero is −273.15 degrees Celsius.
Kelvin Scale.
Kelvin is the temperature in degrees Celsius above absolute zero. So 25 Kelvin is 25 degrees Celsius above absolute zero.
