### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Temperature Scales**: - The Celsius scale (°C) is based on the freezing point of water (0°C) and the boiling point of water (100°C) at standard atmospheric pressure. It includes both positive and negative values. - The Kelvin scale (K) is an absolute temperature scale that starts at absolute zero, which is 0 K. It does not have negative values. 2. **Understanding Absolute Zero**: - Absolute zero is the theoretical temperature at which particles have minimum thermal motion. In the Kelvin scale, this is defined as 0 K. ...
