(Abbreviated A.) Same as Kelvin temperature scale.
a scale of temperature measurement in which zero degrees is absolute zero. On the Rankine absolute temperature scale, in which degrees correspond to degrees Fahrenheit, water freezes at 273 degrees and boils at 373 degrees. See absolute zero.
The temperature scale whose origin is the temperature at which all molecular motion would cease. The unit is the degree Kelvin (oK), which has the same magnitude as a degree celsius (oC).
A temperature scale based on absolute zero. See Kelvin temperature scale, Rankine temperature scale.
A temperature measurement scale based on the coldest possible temperature equal to 0. (See Rankine and Kelvin)
A temperature scale with a freezing point of +273°K (Kelvin) and a boiling point of +373° K.
