===About Absolute Temperature===
Absolute *[[Absolute Temperature|Absolute temperature]] uses the [[Kelvin]] scale, where 0 [[Kelvin|K]] represents *[[Absolute Zero|absolute zero]].*[[Absolute Zero|Absolute zero]] is the point where a [[system]] has minimum [[Internal Energy|internal energy]].*The [[Kelvin]] scale is an absolute thermodynamic [[temperature]] scale.*[[Absolute Temperature|Absolute temperature]] differs from [[Celsius]] and [[Fahrenheit]] scales in that it starts at [[Absolute Zero|absolute zero]].*[[Absolute Temperature|Absolute temperature]] is crucial for calculations in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.*At [[Absolute Zero|absolute zero]], entropy of a perfect crystal is zero according to the third law of thermodynamics.*[[Kelvin]] is defined based on the triple point of water, precisely 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic [[temperature]] of the triple point of water.
[[Absolute Zero|Absolute zero]] is the point where a [[system]] has minimum [[Internal Energy|internal energy]].
 
The [[Kelvin]] scale is an absolute thermodynamic [[temperature]] scale.
===Examples===
 
The [[temperature]] of [[liquid]] nitrogen is 77 [[Kelvin|K]].
 
Room [[temperature]] is approximately 293 [[Kelvin|K]] on the [[Kelvin]] scale.
