What is a Kelvin (K)?

The Kelvin (K) is the SI base unit of temperature. Zero Kelvin (0 K) is absolute zero — the lowest possible temperature where all molecular motion ceases. Water freezes at 273.15 K and boils at 373.15 K. Kelvin is used extensively in science and engineering.

What is a Celsius (°C)?

Celsius (°C), also known as centigrade, is a temperature scale where 0°C is the freezing point of water and 100°C is the boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure. It is named after Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius and is the most widely used temperature scale worldwide.
