The base unit for temperature is the kelvin. One degree celsius is the same as one kelvin, because kelvin starts at absolute zero, degrees celsius is kelvin plus 273.15.

Celsius is used for most non-technical uses.

Kelvin is just kelvin, not degrees kelvin.

I believe the Kelvin which is the absolute temperature scale, is the SI temperature scale, but Celsius is the commonly used metric system measure of temperature. For 0° C, the Kelvin temperature is approx 273 K. For each degree change in Kelvin is equal to a degree Celsius change.
