Absolute zero is the theoretical temperature at which all atomic motion stops. However, this temperature is unattainable, because it represents a complete lack of energy within particles of matter. Even in deep space, this temperature cannot be reached so, like the speed of light, it is a scientific limit which can only be approached. On the Kelvin scale it's 0, on the Celsius scale it's -273.16.

Would all motion stop at absolute zero and stop time?
All molecular motion stops at absolute zero. This would not stop the passage of time.
Temperature is an indication of what?
Molecular motion / kinetic energy.
What is significant about the temperature absolute zero?
The most significant thing about the temperature of absolute zero is that is marks the point where molecular motion stops. It is equal to −459.67 degrees Fahrenheit.
What stops the motion of a sled moving down a snowy hill?
friction
What in temperature can cause something to melt?
Temperature is just a name for "internal energy of grain / molecular / atomic / nucleon motion". Melting is changing from "grain dominant" motion to "molecular dominant" motion, as the energy released in forming the (usually) more stable grain structure is added back in.
Does molecular motion stop when diffusion stops?
No molecular motion only ceases when the temperature is at absolute zero. The molecules have retained their kinetic energy although they are at equillibrium.
Is anything called cold?
yes, only something that is at absolute zero, a hypothetical temperature limit that all molecular motion stops. the temperature is 273.15o Celsius.
What is the temperature on the Fahrenheit scale at which all molecular motion virtually stops?
It is -459.67 deg F.
What is the random motion of molecules called?
it is called the atomis it is called the atomis
The direct transfer of molecular motion through solids?
The direct transfer of molecular motion through solids is called conduction
What is the Erratic motion of microscopic particles caused by random molecular motion?
That is called Brownian motion.
The theoretical point at which all molecular motion stops is called?
"absolute zero" or 0 degrees Kelvin.
What is the value of 0 kelvin?
Zero degrees Kelvin is the theoretical temperature at which all molecular motion stops. It is called Absolute Zero. It is equal to -459.4*F and -273*C
Would all motion stop at absolute zero and stop time?
All molecular motion stops at absolute zero. This would not stop the passage of time.
What would happen if the temperature dropped below -273.15 degrees Celsius?
It is absolute zero and all molecular motion stops
How is temperature related to kentic energy?
The more kenetic energy something has, the hotter it is. At absolute zero, all molecular motion stops.
What is the temperature at which all molecular motion stops?
This is called absolute zero. The temperature is 0 Kelvin or -273.15 degrees Celsius.
