What is the difference in value between the temperature and absolute temperature

Absolute temperature is temperature measured using the Kelvin scale where zero is absolute zero. Absolute zero is -273.15 degrees Celsius.

Did you know?

Did you know that there is a fundamental difference between temperature and absolute temperature? While temperature measures the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance, absolute temperature refers to a scale where zero represents the absence of all thermal energy. On the Kelvin scale, which is the primary absolute temperature scale used in scientific calculations, zero Kelvin indicates an absolute absence of thermal energy. This means that there can never be negative absolute temperature values, unlike regular temperature measurements, which can have negative values. Understanding this distinction helps scientists and engineers accurately describe and predict the behavior of substances under different thermal conditions.
