What it means
Temperature feels like a property of a thing, but it is really a statement about how fast the particles in that thing are jiggling. The Boltzmann constant converts between the two descriptions. It is a very small number, which is another way of saying that a single degree of warmth corresponds to a tiny amount of energy per particle and an enormous amount across a whole object.
The claim comes from NIST.
