It's actually minus 273 which is absolute zero, also known as zero kelvin. This figure was calculated from extrapolation from Charles' Law, one of the three Gas Laws (others are Boyle's Law and the Pressure Law aka Gay-Lussac's Law). Charles' Law states that for a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to the temperature; this means that if you have a frictionless container with flexible walls, floor and roof, filled with a certain amount of gas and you then heat that gas, the volume will increase as the temperature rises. If you plot the readings on a simple graph, x-axis temperature, y-axis volume, then the plot will be a straight line which if then continued down below zero Celsius will cross the y-axis and ultimately meet the x-axis at a temperature of -273 degrees; at this point the volume of the gas is theoretically zero because the molecules are not moving at all; there can be no lower temperature than this because the molecules cannot move any less than not at all. Hence -273 C is absolute zero.

What else can I help you with?
What is the scale called used to measure heat and has a -273 C as zero?
The scale is called the Kelvin scale, where 0 Kelvin is equivalent to -273 degrees Celsius. It is an absolute temperature scale that starts at absolute zero, the theoretical absence of all thermal energy.
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 temperature is absolute zero in C and F?
Absolute zero = 0 K = -273.15°C
What is the value of 0 kelvin?
0 Kelvin represents absolute zero temperature, which is the lowest possible temperature where particles have minimal energy and motion. At this temperature, all molecular movement ceases, making it impossible to get any colder.
The Celsius equivalent for absolute zero is?
Absolute zero or zero degrees kelvin is equal to -273.16 degrees Celsius.
Is absolute zero the same as -273?
Yes, absolute zero is equal to -273°C. -273.15°C actually
What is the temperature of absolute zero measured C?
-273 C
What is the freezing point of electrons?
-273 C is absolute zero
What is the lowest temperature that can theoretically be achived?
absolute zero: -273'C
What is an acceptable value for Absolute zero in Celsius?
-273 deg C
Is -273 celsius temperature of absolute zero?
-273.15 C to be exact.
What is the scale called used to measure heat and has a -273 C as zero?
The scale is called the Kelvin scale, where 0 Kelvin is equivalent to -273 degrees Celsius. It is an absolute temperature scale that starts at absolute zero, the theoretical absence of all thermal energy.
What is celsius temperature at absolute zero?
The Celsius temperature at absolute zero is -273.15 degrees Celsius. This is the point at which molecular motion theoretically ceases.
What are objects that don't have energy?
Objects at absolute zero, -273 degrees C.
What corresponds to absolute zero is 0 C or 0 K or negative273C or negative273 K?
Absolute zero is 0 Kelvin, or about -273 Centigrade.
What is the name of the temperature -273C?
The temperature -273°C is known as absolute zero. At this temperature, all molecular motion ceases, making it the lowest possible temperature on the Kelvin scale.
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.
