2. The duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom.At what temperature?

0 Kelvin.
Don’t forget to correct for gravitational time dilation.

At what temperature? The electron resonance frequency of the cesium atom does not vary with temperature.

Temperature is to do with the movement of molecules.
At any temperature where Caesium is still Caesium, those hyperfine levels internal to Caesium won’t change.
Analogy: no matter how fast you drive your car, the distance between your pedals doesn’t change. Unless you crash the car :0)

Is that the unladen air-speed of an African or a European swallow?
