Kelvin (K)

Modern equivalent

Absolute scale where 0 K = -273.15°C

The absolute thermodynamic temperature scale used in scientific and engineering research.

Starting from absolute zero where thermal molecular motion ceases entirely, the kelvin provides scientists with a strict, non-negative temperature scale for thermodynamic laws.
