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.
The SI temperature scale is Kelvin. Its starting point, absolute zero, is defined as 0 K (−273.15 °C).
This is a scale of temperature which takes Absolute Zero as the starting point. The size of the unit is the same as on the Celsius scale. Thus Absolute Zero Celsius is -273, whilst on the Kelvin scale it is zero, and the freezing point of water is +273. Lord Kelvin was a scientist in Scotland at the end of the 19th century.
A distance is a measurement, and does not change based on which location is the starting point. (Unlike physics where the direction is considered)
0K is called absolute zero because it represents the lowest possible temperature in the universe, at which point all molecular movement ceases. It is the point at which particles have minimal energy and cannot go any lower. This temperature is regarded as the starting point for the Kelvin temperature scale.
The Rankine scale is one of the temperature scales used when an absolute temperature scale is needed. The Rankine scale is useful in calcluations of oil or gas present in an oil or gas reservoir (one of the factors in the equations is the ratio of standard temperature to formation temperature; generally add 460 to the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit to obtain degrees Rankine).
An arbitrary zero is a reference point chosen in a scale or measurement system that does not have a natural or fixed value, allowing for flexibility in defining the starting point of a measurement. For example, in temperature scales like Celsius or Fahrenheit, zero is defined arbitrarily based on the specific properties of water and other reference points, rather than being an absolute zero. This concept is important in various fields, including mathematics and physics, where it helps establish relative comparisons and scales.
The idea is to start at absolute zero - the lowest possible temperature. This happens to be -273.16 on the Centigrade (Celsius) scale. The Kelvin scale has no negative temperatures; zero degrees Kelvin is the lowest possible temperature.

No. Standard deviation is not an absolute value. The standard deviation is often written as a single positive value (magnitude), but it is really a binomial, and it equals both the positive and negative of the given magnitude. For example, if you are told that for a population the SD is 5.0, it really means +5.0 and -5.0 from the population mean. It defines a region within the distribution, starting at the lower magnitude (-5.0) increasing to zero (the mean), and another region starting at zero (the mean) and increasing up to the upper magnitude (+5.0). Both regions together define the (continuous) region of standard deviation from the mean value.
A primary scale is a scale that serves as the foundation or starting point for a particular measurement system. It is often used as a reference standard against which other measurements can be compared or calibrated.
