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.
