Freezing is the act/process of freezing something. Freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid substance turns solid. This is due to the slowing down of its molecules due to lack of energy (no heat).

Freezing point is the temperature at which a substance turns from liquid to solid; the lowest freezing point is that of helium, and is at only a couple of degrees above absolute zero. Others can range into the thousands of degrees.

Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature, the point at which the particles present have no kinetic energy at all, and is only theoretical (for the simple reason an object would immediately absorb energy from its surroundings which were not at absolute zero).

Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature (zero kelvin). Absolute temperature is the temperature, measured from absolute zero - in other words, any temperature, measured (usually) on the kelvin scale.

"Temperature" is a state of matter; "Degrees" is a unit of measure.

The correct way to talk about temperature is to say "Zero degrees ____" (fill in with Fahrenheit, Celsius or Kelvin)

What is the difference between kelvin and absolute kelvin?

Kelvin is the absolute temperature - a temperature where absolute zero, the lowest temperature possible, is defined as zero. Therefore, in the phrase "absolute Kelvin", the word "absolute" seems redundant.


What is the connection between absolute zero and the kelvin temperature scale?

Kelvin is the temperature in degrees Celsius above absolute zero. So 25 Kelvin is 25 degrees Celsius above absolute zero.


What is the difference between absolute zero and relative zero?

The term "absolute zero" is used for the minimal possible temperature (-273 K). The term "relative zero" is not a term I know, but it could refer to the difference between two velocities, which are equal. In Physics, independent observers do not observe a velocity of the other if they are moving at the same speed (relative zero). <Feb 18, 2014 - Bruno>


Is zero degrees Kelvin absolute temperature?

It is absolute zero.


What is the temperature at which all molecular motion stops?

This is called absolute zero. The temperature is 0 Kelvin or -273.15 degrees Celsius.


Is there absolute maximum temperature like absolute zero minimum temperature?

No.


How do you use absolute zero in a sentence?

Nothing moves when the temperature is at absolute zero.


What scale shows absolute zero as zero?

Kelvin temperature scale uses absolute zero as the zero. Though you can find absolute zero in all temperature scales i.e. −459.67 degrees Fahrenheit and -273.15 degrees Celsius. But Kelvin is the scale that absolute zero is 0.


What effects would lower the temperature at absolute zero have on brownian motion?

You cannot lower the temperature if you are at absolute zero.


Do molecules disappear at absolute zero?

No. They are as frozen still as they can ever be. It is said to be scientifically impossible to actually reach absolute zero.


What temperature scale includes absolute zero?

The Kelvin Scale contains absolute zero.


The lowest temperature a superconducter can work at?

0oK, or absolute zero is the lowest temperature. Superconductors have a critical temperature at which they begin to work, but it is the highest temperature, and they function as superconductors at any temperature lower, down to as close to absolute zero as they can be made to be (absolute zero is unachievable).
