Comparing Kelvin & Celsius

What is Kelvin?

K

Kelvin is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). It starts at absolute zero, the point where all thermal motion theoretically stops, and uses the same increment size as Celsius.

Pro Fact: Absolute zero is defined as 0 Kelvin, which equals −273.15 degrees Celsius.

What is Celsius?

°C

Celsius is a temperature scale in which 0 degrees represents the freezing point of water and 100 degrees represents the boiling point under standard atmospheric conditions. It is widely used worldwide for everyday measurements.

Did you know? The Celsius scale was originally called centigrade, meaning “divided into 100 degrees.”
