It is an absolute measurement scale of temperature. 0K is absolute zero there are no negative units on the scale (degrees centigrade [celsius] + 273 = degrees Kelvin).
This also is the case on the Rankine temperature scale (degrees fahrenheit +459.69 = degrees Rankine)

The lowest possible temperature on the Celsius scale is -273.15 degrees Celsius. The lowest possible temperature on the Kelvin scale is 0 degrees Kelvin. Therefore the only temperature scale on which -460 degrees is possible is the Fahrenheit scale.
The objects Kelvin temperature. The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero (-273 degrees Celsius)
