Thermal Physics

Temperature

Thermal equilibrium describes the equal transfer of thermal energy in and out of a system.

The absolute scale of temperature is Kelvin. You convert from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273 to the Celsius number. This is because -273 Celsius (0K) is absolute zero, which is the theoretical lowest possible temperature at which particles have an internal energy of 0J, causing zero movement and zero pressure.
