Answer:

-273.16 °C

-459.677 °F

0 °K

0 °R

Step-by-step explanation:

The lowest temperature is the absolute zero.

Absolute zero is at 0 degrees Kelvin, or 0 degrees Rankine, because these are absolute scales that have their zero precisely at the absolute zero.

Celsius and Fahrenheit degrees are relative scales, these have their zeroes above the absolute zero.

Celsius scale has the same degree separation as the Kelvin scale, but the zero is separated by 273.16 degrees. Therefore the lowest temperature in the Celsius scale is -273.16 °C.

The Fahrenheit degrees have the same degree separation as the Rankine degrees, and the zero is 459.67 degrees. Therefore the lowest temperature in the Fahrenheit scale is -459.67 °F.
