Celsius and Fahrenheit are relative scales which are compared with freezing and boiling points of water. While kelvin is not relative and is an absolute scale. From graphical representation of Charles's when one extrapolate the graph straight, it will touch the zero volume at -273.16 Celsius or OK. This OK is the start or emergence of kelvin scale which is not related to anything, but absolute.

Is degree celsius a si unit of measure?

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.

Is kelvin a fundamental unit?

The kelvin is not considered a fundamental unit in the International System of Units (SI). It is a derived unit that is based on the fundamental unit of temperature in SI, the degree Celsius. The kelvin is used to measure thermodynamic temperature.


What is the SI unit of temperature?

The unit is the Kelvin. Zero on the Kelvin scale is the coldest possible temperature, absolute zero. The scale increases by the same degree intervals as the Celsius scale but since Kelvin starts at absolute zero, the values are all higher. For example, it is 273.15 K when it is 0°C (Celsius). Kelvin "K" It is KELVIN!!!!! Either Kelvin, or Celsius. Both are used with the SI K degreeskelvin
