Unit Background: Kelvin & Celsius
Kelvin (K): The Kelvin scale is an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale widely used in the physical sciences. Zero Kelvin (0 K) represents absolute zero, the complete absence of thermal energy.
Celsius (°C): The Celsius scale sets the freezing point of water at 0 degrees and the boiling point at 100 degrees (at standard atmospheric pressure). It is the standard scale for everyday weather across the globe.
