What is an absolute temperature scale?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for an explanation of what an absolute temperature scale is, which involves understanding the concept of temperature measurement and the reference points used in such scales.

Answer

An absolute temperature scale is measured using kelvins (K) where zero is absolute zero, the coldest possible temperature.

The absolute temperature scale is one in which the zero of temperature is equal to 'absolute zero', the coldest possible temperature, at which there is no internal energy and particles are stationary. It is measured in kelvins (K).

The absolute temperature scale is one in which the zero of temperature is equal to 'absolute zero', the coldest possible temperature, at which there is no internal energy and particles are stationary. It is measured in kelvins (K).

More Information

The Kelvin scale is commonly used in scientific contexts because it relates directly to thermal energy.
