The SI Unit of temperature is Kelvin. The Kelvin scale is an absolute scale, meaning that it starts at absolute zero. Absolute zero is the point at which all thermal motion ceases. The Kelvin scale has no negative numbers, so temperatures can only be expressed as positive values. The Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are both… Read More

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… Read More
