What is absoulte temperature?
Absolute temperature is measured from 0 in Kelvin units.
What is the metric unit used for measuring temperature?
Degrees Celsius. Absolute (SI units) are Kelvin=degC+273.15
What is unique about the kelvin temperature scale?
It is an absolute measurement scale of temperature. 0K is absolute zero there are no negative units on the scale (degrees centigrade [celsius] + 273 = degrees Kelvin). This also is the case on the Rankine temperature scale (degrees fahrenheit +459.69 = degrees Rankine)
What are SI units of temperatrue?
The SI Unit for temperature is Kelvin, K. This is the absolute temperature scale, that starts at 0K (absolute zero) and goes on up to when elements become plasma (at a ridiculously large figure).
-273.15 is this the temperature of absolute zero?
The question is meaningless unless you provide physical units to accompany the number. Absolute zero = 0 kelvin = -273.15 degrees celsius = -459.67 degrees fahrenheit.
Is there absolute maximum temperature like absolute zero minimum temperature?
No.
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.
Is absolute temperature is same like absolute zero?
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.
Who defined the absolute temperature scale?
The absolute temperature scale was defined by Lord Kelvin.
Is kelvin used in science?
Yes. Kelvin is the standard measure of temperature in the International System of Units (SI) and is one of the seven base units in that system. It is an absolute thermodynamic scale with its null point at Absolute Zero the point at which all physical motion ceases. The kelvin is defined as 1/273.16 the temperature of the triple point of water (exactly 0.01 °C or 32.018 °F).
The kelvin scale is used to measure what?
The Kelvin scale is used to measure absolute temperature, i.e., temperature from absolute zero. The way it is defined, there are no negative temperatures on the Kelvin scale.The Kelvin scale is used to measure absolute temperature, i.e., temperature from absolute zero.

5 What is absolute Units?
