Zero Kelvin is a relative value.  Null is an absence of value.

Ah, but if I were to ask you the temperature of something that was 0
Kelvin, would you not answer '0 Kelvin'?  Temperature is the average
molecule kinetic energy of a substance.  0 K, or absolute 0, is the
absence of all molecule kinetic energy.  Yet 0 K is a valid measurement.
Just as Null is a value for a field that has no value!
