Key Stage 5
Meaning
Absolute temperature is the measure of temperature starting from absolute zero, typically measured in Kelvin (K).
About Absolute Temperature
Absolute temperature uses the Kelvin scale, where 0 K represents absolute zero.
Absolute zero is the point where a system has minimum internal energy.
The Kelvin scale is an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale.
Examples
The temperature of liquid nitrogen is 77 K. Room temperature is approximately 293 K on the Kelvin scale.
