Temperature is a measure of the average speed of the molecules in what's being measured. The faster the molecules move the higher the temperature, and the slower the molecules move the lower the temperature. At absolute zero, the molecules in what's being measured are completely stopped. Since molecules can't move any slower than stopped, absolute zero is the minimum temperature.

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.


Can nothing get colder than 0 k?

No,0 Kelvin is absolute zero,cold as anything can get.


Why is the possible for anything to be colder than zero?

The absolute zero is 0 degrees Kelvin (- 273.15 deg celcius) Nothing is colder (less energetic) than this.


Can something get colder than 0 degrees kelvin?

No, 0 Kelvin is absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature where particles stop moving. It is theoretically impossible for an object to be colder than 0 Kelvin.


What is the lowest teperature for celsius?

-273 degrees. This is called absolute zero or the point at which you cannot get any colder. It is theoretically impossible get colder than absolute zero.


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.


Can anything get colder than 0 K?

No. 0 degr.K (or more correctly 0 Kelvin) is absolute zero = minus 273.2 degr.C


Why it is impossible for anything to be colder than the lowest possible temperature?

Because - 'absolute zero' (0 Kelvin or -373 Celsius) - is the temperature at which everything freezes. Scientific testing has not found any substance or object that does not freeze below absolute zero.


What has a temperature of -4000 Fahrenheit?

Nothing is that cold. There is a limit of coldness, which is called Absolute Zero. Anything that is colder than that, isn't matter anymore. The coldest temperature is −459.67 Fahrenheit (−273.15 Celsius)


How can you know whether -2 C is less cold than -24C?

22


Why is Celsius zero called absolute zero?

It isn't. "Absolute zero" is zero on the Kelvin scale, 273.15 degrees colder than zero Celsius.


What is meant by absolute zero of temperature?
