“According to the kinetic theory of gases, the mean kinetic energy of a molecule is a measure of absolute temperature.”
About This Quote
Source Scientific Paper: Kinetic Theory of Gases, early 20th century
The average kinetic energy of gas molecules directly reflects absolute temperature, linking microscopic motion to macroscopic heat.
In simple terms: Molecular motion equals temperature.
