Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index The temperature of an object as measured in kelvin. An object's absolute temperature in effect describes how much warmer the object is than absolute zero. While temperature is a measure of the heat of an object, heat itself is simply a highly abstract consideration of the kinetic energy of the molecular particles of the object. At absolute zero, there is no movement of individual particles. The absolute temperature measures, in a way, the 'amount' of movement among the particles of an object by comparing it to the state of an object at absolute zero.
