Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute temperature is the lowest possible temperature in the universe. At this temperature, all atoms become motionless and cease to move.

The value of the absolute zero is pegged at -273.16°C.

  • It is the lowest limit of the coldness of a body.
  • Nothing can be colder than a body at absolute temperature.
  • Many researches are underway to take advantage of this temperature value for scientific purpose.
  • Thermodynamically, all process stops at this temperature.
  • When a body is brought close a body at absolute zero, it can suffer cryogenic burn due to heat transfer.
