Kelvin is an absolute scale of temperature named after the British physicist William Thomson Kelvin (1824-1907). Its SI Unit is the kelvin (K), which equals 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water. This value was chosen so that (zero 0) (K) represents “absolute zero”, a theoretical limit to coldness at which all thermal motion ceases in the matter. Zero on this scale corresponds to – 273.15 °C on the Celsius scale, and -459.67 °F on Fahrenheit’s older scale.

The Kelvin Scale is a valuable tool for scientists because it allows them to measure temperatures accurately no matter what system they are using. For example, when dealing with extremely cold or hot temperatures, it can be difficult to use either Celsius or Fahrenheit due to their limited ranges.

Scientists often need to convert between different units of measurement, and the Kelvin Scale makes this easy by having a simple relationship with both Celsius and Fahrenheit. and it is also a unit of measurement for light. In addition, the Kelvin (K) is a unit of measurement for sound. All these different uses for the Kelvin make it an important part of our lives.
