What is the difference between ambient temperature and absolute temperature?

Answer 1

Temperature, as understood by physicists, essentially means the kinetic motion of particles: the more (subatomic) particle motion there is in an object, the hotter the object. If all of the particles in a particular object were to stop moving (and this is really hard, if not impossible to do), then the object would have an absolute temperature of 0 degrees. Scientists use the Kelvin scale to denote this concept of absolute temperature. In the Kelvin scale 0 degrees stands for absolute zero (absolutely no motion of any particles within an object). 0 degrees Kelvin corresponds roughly to -273.15 degrees Celcius, or -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 2

Absolute temperature is the temperature where gases exhibit least molecular activity, i.e., the pressure and volume of the gas tends to zero though not completely zero. This means the number is infinitesimally small. for example, 0.000001 or such numbers.

It is the temperature scale where ice point is 273 Kelvin and steam point is 373 Kelvin.

In this scale, -273.15 degree centigrade is considered the absolute zero temperature which is 0 K (zero Kelvin).

Answer 3

Ambient temperature refers to the temperature of the surrounding environment or space, typically measured in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. Absolute temperature, on the other hand, is a thermodynamic temperature scale where zero is at absolute zero, measured in Kelvin. Ambient temperature can vary based on location and conditions, while absolute temperature is a fixed scale with its zero point at the absence of all thermal energy.

Answer 4

the answer is: Minus 273 Degrees That would be 0 degrees Kelvin, -273.15 degrees Celsius and -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 5

By setting absolute zero = zero degrees, the temperature is directly proportional to the average energy per particle. This simplifies many calculations.

Answer 6

• Ambient temperature is the current temperature of the surrounding environment
• Absolute temperature is the temperature of something relative to absolute zero

Answer 7

Absolute temperature is the old term for degrees Kelvin. The temperature scale starts at absolute zero, and rises in increments of 1K which are the same "size" as 0C.
