- The Kelvin scale is defined so that absolute zero is 0 Kelvin, equivalent to −273.15 °C on the Celsius scale, and −459.67 °F on the Fahrenheit scale.
- The Kelvin and Rankine temperature scales set their zero points at absolute zero by definition.
- This limit can be estimated by extrapolating the ideal gas law to the temperature at which the volume or pressure of a classical gas becomes zero.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Absolute zero article was read about 260,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 74 and blocks with 73: each hit it takes is cut by 29 %.
