Answer:

Yes, It is physically impossible for atoms to move at zero Kelvin, or minus 459.67 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 273.15 degrees Celsius). On the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is the coldest temperature.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Yes, there is.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the physically impossible-to-reach temperature of zero kelvin, or minus 459.67 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 273.15 degrees Celsius), atoms would stop moving. As such, nothing can be colder than absolute zero on the Kelvin scale.
