-273.15 celsius is the temperature of absolute zero?

Absolute zero is 0 degrees Kelvin, -273.15 degrees Celsius, and −459.67 degrees Fahrenheit. Short answer: No. Technically, absolute zero could be defined to be whatever number you wanted on some arbitrary scale. However, on the two commonly used scales - Fahrenheit & Celsius - 273.15 is not absolute zero. I'm guessing that you actually meant -273.15. On the Celsius scale, this is absolute zero (to 5 significant figures).
