### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Temperature Scales**: - Temperature is measured using various scales, including Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin. The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale. 2. **Definition of Absolute Zero**: - Absolute zero is defined as 0 Kelvin (0 K). It is the theoretical temperature at which a system's entropy reaches its minimum value, and molecular motion stops. ...
