The SI unit of the temperature scale is Kelvin '''K'''. Other temperature scales include the most widely used Celsius '''°C''', and the less used Fahrenheit '''°F''' and Rankine '''R'''. The lowest possible temperature in the universe is known as [[absolute zero]] and is measured in the Kelvin scale as 0 K. At this point, the system would only have the quantum [[zero-point energy]]. |
