Best Answer

"K" stands for Kelvin. There is a Kelvin thermometer, different from Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Answer:

Kelvin is a temperature scale named after Lord Kelvin (1824-1907), who wrote of the need for an "absolute thermometric scale".. Each degree Kelvin is the same size as a Celsius degree and 1.8 times as big as a Fahrenheit degree. The starting point for the Kelvin scale is absolute zero (0oK = -273oC or -460oF)
