Kelvin is an absolute scale, which makes much more sense once you understand that temperature is related to the speed of atoms (they can't have a negative speed). An absolute scale is one in which the lowest possible temperature is zero. An absolute scale also makes more sense in thermodynamics, where the ratios between two temperatures are often important.
