Thermodynamic temperature, also known as absolute temperature, is a physical quantity that measures temperature starting from absolute zero, the point at which particles have minimal thermal motion. The cited article says it is typically expressed using the Kelvin scale, on which the unit of measurement is the kelvin, the same interval as the degree Celsius but offset so that zero kelvin corresponds to absolute zero, and that another absolute scale of temperature is the Rankine scale. As a comparison it gives 295 kelvin as equal to 21.85 degrees Celsius. Units such as the kelvin are grouped under this quantity.

Kelvin, Units Entity-backed identity for the quantity-measured enum value this unit already carries, resolved to a science concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The quantity-measured fact itself stays on the unit unchanged.
