0 Kelvin (-273.15 C) is the temperature when all atomic motion stops. that is why it is called Absolute Zero.

Temperature is measured at 0 Kelvin (-273 degrees Celsius) because it is the point at which all molecular motion stops. This point is known as absolute zero and serves as the basis for the Kelvin temperature scale.

273K is equivalent to 0 degrees Celsius. This is known as the freezing point of water in the Celsius scale.


Why is ice at 273k more effective in cooling than the water at the same temperature?

Water changes to ice at 0 degree C.In this change,heat is released so as to gain the suitable temperature for freezing.While in case of ice changing into water,the water releases the chillness so as to be a liquid.So, ice at 273K is more effective than water at the same temperature.
