By studying the vibration rates of different substance and determining their vibration rates at different temperatures, scientists created graphs with slopes on them to figure out when they would be so cold they would stop vibrating altogether. They came to an astounding conclusion; all matter stops vibrating at the same temperature. This temperature is called Absolute Zero and is -273.15 degrees C. The Kelvin scale is based on this finding and starts at Absolute Zero and uses the same scale ( differences between degrees ) as the Celsius scale.

Who developed the kelvin scale?
William Thomson, also known as Lord Kelvin developed the kelvin scale.
What scale is used to measure very low temperatures?
Any scale can be used; the absolute, rational, thermodynamic based scale is the Kelvin scale.
Can the Kelvin scale have negative temperatures?
No, that's why it was invented. 0 on the Kelvin scale is absolute 0.
Which is better Celsius or Kelvin temperatures?
Celsius and Kelvin scale are also valid and useful. Celsius scale is a conventional scale based on the freezing and boiling point of water. Kelvin scale is an absolute, scientific, based on thermodynamics scale.
Which scientists introduced the concept of absolute zero?
Kelvin, that's why on the Kelvin temperature scale absolute zero is 0 Kelvin and 0 degrees centigrade is 273 Kelvin.
What is the temperature scale that that measures absolute temperature created by Sir William Thomson?
The scale is the Kelvin scale. (Sir William Thomson 1824-1907 was "1st Baron Kelvin".)
What type of scale did lord Kelvin develop?
The Kelvin temperature scale
Who developed the kelvin scale?
William Thomson, also known as Lord Kelvin developed the kelvin scale.
How is Lord Kelvin's scale different from Celsius?
Degrees in Kelvin scale = Degrees in Celsius scale + 273,15.
What were Lord Kelvin's inventions?
The Kelvin scale
What is the icepoint on the kelvin scale?
275.15 Kelvin
Why there is no symbol in the Kelvin scale?
The units on the Kelvin scale are simply called 'kelvin' because it is not relative to any reference point.
What year was the Kelvin scale invented?
William Thomson, also known as Lord Kelvin developed the kelvin scale 1848.
What is a Calvin scale?
You think probable to the Kelvin scale of temperature. The zero point of Kelvin scale is at -273,15 0C.
What scale is used to measure very low temperatures?
Any scale can be used; the absolute, rational, thermodynamic based scale is the Kelvin scale.
What are the units of a kelvin scale Fahrenheit scale and celsius scale?
The units, in this case, are kelvin, degrees Fahrenheit, and degrees Celsius.
The kelvin scale is used to express absolute temperatures in the English system of measurement?
kelvin scale
