absolute temperature

subject fact

absolute temperature has definition Temperature measured on the Kelvin scale: 0 Kelvin = -273.15 ° Celsius. Absolute temperature is directly related to (kinetic) energy via the equation E = k_BT, where k_B is Boltzmann's constant. So, a temperature of 0 K corresponds to zero energy, and room temperature, 300 K = 27 °C, corresponds to an energy of 0.025 eV. has source: Coughlan, G.D., Dodd, J.E. 1999 The Ideas of Particle Physics, Cambridge University Press, 2001-09-27 09:33:12.0
