Absolute zero is the temperature at which a thermodynamic system has its lowest energy. It is −273.15 °C on the Celsius scale and −459.67 °F on the Fahrenheit scale. At this limiting temperature, molecular motion does not completely stop because molecules still vibrate with zero-point energy. However, no heat energy from molecular motion is available to transfer to other systems.
