The size of the degree is the same in the Kelvin and Celsius scales.
A Celsius degree is 1.8 times the size of a Fahrenheit degree, or 80% larger.
The Celsius scale has its 'zero' at the same temperature as 32 on the Fahrenheit scale, and each Celsius degree is the same size as 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees.
There are two reasons for this. The first is that a Fahrenheit degree is smaller than a Celsius degree. Four Celsius degrees is the same size as nine Fahrenheit degrees. The second reason is that 32 degrees Fahrenheit is zero degrees Celsius. If you put those two ideas together you figure out that -40°F = -40°C.
No.1 Kelvin degree is equal to 1 Celsius degree. Kelvin starts at - 273.15 oC but each degree has the same size Kelvin and Celsius.

1ºC = 33.8ºF A Fahrenheit degree is 5/9 the size of a Celsius degree.
One Celsius degree is the size of 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees. 22 F = -5.56 C

same size. Between freezing water and boiling water, there are 180 Fahrenheit degrees (32 to 212) and 100 Celsius degrees (0 to 100). So Fahrenheit degrees are smaller, because it takes more of them to cover the same range of temperature. 1 Fahrenheit degree = 5/9 of a Celsius degree (0.555...) 1 Celsius degree = 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees
32° Fahrenheit = 0° Celsius 212° Fahrenheit = 100° Celsius -40° Fahrenheit = -40° Celsius Fahrenheit° = (1.8 x Celsius°) + 32° Celsius° = 5/9 (Fahrenheit° - 32°)

A change of one degree Celsius indicates the same temperature change as a change of (B) one Kelvin. (Isn't it easier to say that Kelvins are the same size as Celsius degrees ?)
There are 100 Celsius "degrees" between the freezing and boiling points of water (0°C and 100°C). There are 180 Fahrenheit "degrees" between the freezing and boiling points of water (32°F and 212°F). This means that each Fahrenheit degree is a smaller interval, 100/180 or 5/9 the size of a Celsius degree. A Celsius degree is 9/5 (1.8) times as large as a Fahrenheit degree. This is why the differences between two temperatures is a smaller value when they are expressed in Celsius.
By comparative size, each "Celsius degree" represents 1.8 times as much change in temperature as a "Fahrenheit degree." However, the two scales cannot be directly compared because they have different beginning points: 0° Celsius is at the freezing point of water, while 0° Fahrenheit is the freezing point of brine (32 Fahrenheit degrees lower).
