The Celsius or centigrade scale runs from -273 deg C to you name it.
0 deg C is the freezing point of pure water
100 deg C is the boiling point of water.
15,000,000 deg C is the core temperature of the Sun
The Kelvin scale (K) uses the same units. -273 deg C = 0 deg K.
0 deg K is also known as absolute zero, the point at which no further heat energy can be extracted from a system

Which is larger an object's celsius temperature or it's kelvin temperature?
Its Kelvin temperature. The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero and goes up. Absolute zero on the celsius scale is -273.15oC
Is zero degrees Celsius the coldest?
The coldest possible temperature on the Celsius scale is -273.15 degrees.
What is the unit used when measuring temperature?
There are four units for temperature: Celsius, Kelvin, Fahrenheit, and Rankine. The Kelvin scale is the same as the Celsius scale, just with the zero point being absolute zero. The Rankine scale is the same thing for the Fahrenheit scale. ■
Water freezes at 32 degrees on what temperature scale?
On the Fahrenheit scale. Water freezes at zero on the Celsius scale.
What is the coldest possible temperature on a celsius scale?
Minus 273 degrees Celsius is the coldest possible temperature, a.k.a. "absolute zero".
