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.
