The SI base unit for temperature is the kelvin. Kelvin are not degrees, however they are the same size as a degrees Celsius. The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, The theoretically lowest temperature possibly, so the triple point of water ( zero degrees C) is 273.16K, the boiling point of water is 373.16K.
Celsius tends to be used for everyday Temperatures.
