Cold
The coldest theoretically possible temperature is absolute zero, which is 0 K on the Kelvin scale, a thermodynamic temperature scale, and −273.15 °C on the Celsius scale. Absolute zero is also 0 °R on the Rankine scale, another thermodynamic temperature scale, and −459.67 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale.
Cooling refers to the process of becoming cold, or lowering in temperature. This could be accomplished by removing heat from a system, or exposing the system to an environment with a lower temperature.
Fluids used to cool objects are commonly called coolants.
Air cooling is the process of cooling an object by exposing it to air. This will only work if the air is at a lower temperature than the object, and the process can be enhanced by increasing the surface area or decreasing the mass of the object.
Another common method of cooling is exposing an object to ice, dry ice, or liquid nitrogen. This works by convection; the heat is transferred from the relatively warm object to the relatively cold coolant.
