Fahrenheit and Celsius

Fahrenheit is not a metric unit. The base unit for temperature is kelvin, one kelvin is the same size as one degree celsius. Zero kelvin is absolute zero, the coldest it is possible to be, and equals -273.15oC.

Kelvin scale is the absolute temperature scale. The Celsius scale is also a temperature scale. The Celsius scale is a centigrade scale meaning that it is based on 100. The one hundred it the difference between the normal melting and boiling points of water.

If you mean the SI system, based on the metre, second, kilogram etc then the accepted unit is the Kelvin. The Kelvin satisfies the relationship 0K=-273.15 degrees Celcius and a change of 1K is a change of 1C so 273.15K=0C.

The unit is the kelvin.

It is exactly the same as a Celsius degree: 1/100th of the difference between the freezing and boiling temperatures of water.
