Well. Sub-zero is a range. 0K, or absolute zero, is sub 0°C. So sub zero can be equal to absolute zero in one instance of the range.
This lead me to wondering: Do the Fahrenheit people talk about sub-zero as well?! I had never thought of that possibility. 0 degrees is just generally cold, but -17,778 degrees is already in the area of "seriously cold".
Yes, they're referencing different zeros
