Only in the sense that knowing the exact temperature on an arbitrary scale is utterly useless. Even Celsius scale is arbitrary, I guess it does use one molecule at an arbitrary atmospheric pressure as a loose guide though…

Is it always 100 degrees Celsius in a vacuum? Because water boils in a vacuum.

100 degrees Celsius is defined as the boiling point at exactly _1.0 atmospheric pressure _
