How is kelvin scale different from celsius?

Question

Answer

《》Kevin Scale of temperature with absolute zero as zero, and the triple point of water as exactly 273.16 degrees whereas Celsius is a temperature scale used by the International System of Units.........

Answer

The kelvin scale is related to the celsius scale the difference between the freezing and boiling points of water is 100 degrees in each so that the kelvin has the same magnitude as the degree celsius

Answer

The 'Celsius' scale is a scale which is defined such that freezing point of water is '0′ and boiling point is '100′.

There have been many other relative scales. Kelvin on the other hand is an absolute thermodynamic scale, which uses its null point as the temperature at which all thermal motion ceases to exist. This point can be found by extending the 'volume temperature' curve of gases.

Futher the separation between two individual integer values of kelvin temperature is ‘assumed’ to be equal to that of celsius.

i.e. One kelvin difference is equal to one degree Celsius difference.

This brings the popular value of about '273′.

Kelvin scale is used and is important since it's a thermodynamic scale rather than a relatively assumed scale.

For the sake of problem solving the absence of negative values on the scale facilitates the calculations.
