	TEMPERATURE FACTS AND INFORMATION
		Temperature is the physical property of a system which underlies the common notions of "hot" and "cold"; the material with the higher temperature is said to be hotter.
		It is a fundamental parameter in thermodynamics and it is conjugate to entropy.
		Temperature in respect to matter is a property only of macroscopic amounts and serves to gauge the average intensity of the random ''actual'' motions of the individually mobile particulate constituents.

	Thermodynamic temperature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thermodynamic temperature is the absolute measure of temperature and is one of the principal parameters of thermodynamics.
		Thermodynamic temperature is an “absolute” scale because it is the measure of the fundamental property underlying temperature: its null or zero point, absolute zero, is the lowest possible temperature where nothing could be colder and no heat energy remains in a substance.
		Thermodynamic temperature’s null point, absolute zero, is the temperature at which the particle constituents of matter have minimal motion (retaining only quantum mechanical motion) and zero heat energy remains in a substance.

		Thermodynamic temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy in molecules or atoms of a substance.
		This is the temperature scheme that astronomers use to measure the heat in distant objects such as the sun's corona or the gas and dust between stars.
		In the centigrade or Celsius temperature scale, the freezing point of pure water at one atmosphere is assigned the value zero; the boiling point is +100 C. One-degree increments in the centigrade scale are the same size as those in the kelvin scale.

	Temperature -- from Eric Weisstein's World of Physics
		Temperature (sometimes called thermodynamic temperature) is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a system.
		Temperatures are commonly measured in the Kelvin or Celsius scales, with Fahrenheit still in common use in the Unites States.

		The temperature, at the planet's shell, within the air layer and at the core, adjusts uniformly to the temperature of the shell, thus to 255 K (-18°C).
		The cause for the higher temperature at the base of an atmosphere it is that the removal of energy from the atmosphere toward space occurs essentially via radiation from the upper layers of the gas atmosphere, where the transition from the gas state into a vacuum-like state takes place, on the basis of temperature.

	About Temperature
		Thermodynamic temperature is the fundamental temperature; its unit is the kelvin which is defined as the fraction 1 / 273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water.
		The way that the gas temperature scale and the thermodynamic temperature scale are shown to be identical is based on the microscopic interpretation of temperature, which postulates that the macroscopic measurable quantity called temperature is a result of the random motions of the microscopic particles that make up a system.
		Temperature becomes a quantity definable either in terms of macroscopic thermodynamic quantities such as heat and work, or, with equal validity and identical results, in terms of a quantity which characterized the energy distribution among the particles in a system.

	About Temperature
		One of the first attempts to make a standard temperature scale occurred about AD 170, when Galen, in his medical writings, proposed a standard "neutral" temperature made up of equal quantities of boiling water and ice; on either side of this temperature were four degrees of heat and four degrees of cold, respectively.
		Thermodynamic temperature is the fundamental temperature; its unit is the kelvin which is defined as the fraction 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water.
		Temperature is a measure of the energy of thermal motion and, at a temperature of zero, the energy reaches a minimum (quantum mechanically, the zero-point motion remains at 0 K).
