By studying the vibration rates of different substance and determining their vibration rates at different temperatures, scientists created graphs with slopes on them to figure out when they would be so cold they would stop vibrating altogether. They came to an astounding conclusion; all matter stops vibrating at the same temperature. This temperature is called Absolute Zero and is -273.15 degrees C. The Kelvin scale is based on this finding and starts at Absolute Zero and uses the same scale ( differences between degrees ) as the Celsius scale.

What is the difference between absolute temperature scale and kelvin scale urgent I am convinced that there is a difference?

The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale where 0K represents absolute zero. The absolute temperature scale refers to any temperature scale that starts at absolute zero, such as the Kelvin scale. So, the Kelvin scale is a specific type of absolute temperature scale.
