Another scale that is used nost often all over the world is the Celsius scale. Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and boils at 100 degrees Celsius. It would take longer for a bucket of water to boil at room temperature because there is more water in the bucket than in the cup. The more water there is, the longer it will take. This is true for most objects.
Temperature is the measure of heat energy or motion of particles.
Absolute zero is the temperature at which all motion of particles stops. Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature. Absolute zero is -273 degrees on the Celsius scale. The Kelvin temperature scale is based on absolute zero. To convert from degrees Celsius to Kelvins, add 273 to the Celsius temperature.
