They are very different. Zero degrees Kelvin is sometimes called absolute zero; nothing can get any colder than that. In comparison, zero degrees Fahrenheit is scorching hot. The degrees on those scales represent different increments of heat as well. The Kelvin scale is based on the Celsius scale; degrees on the two scales represent the same increments of heat.
On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees and the boiling point of water is 212 degrees. Zero degrees Fahrenheit is colder than freezing, but it is not unbearable for properly clothed people. In Celsius, water freezes at zero degrees and boils at 100 degrees. Minus 459.67 degrees F is just about the same as zero degrees Kelvin, absolute zero. This is unimaginably cold.
You can think of the Kelvin scale as a ratio scale, and the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales as ordinal scales. K is a ratio scale because zero represents the absolute absence of heat and because degrees are equal increments of heat. So you CANconclude that an object at 500 degrees K is twice as hot as an object at 250 degrees K. You cannot conclude that an object at 212 degrees F is twice as hot as an object at 106 degrees F, because the zero point of that scale doesn't come close to representing the absolute absence of heat. F and C scales are still extremely useful because they conveniently measure temperatures within a range corresponding to our general experience of the world.

Absolute zero is O Kelvin. What is the equivalent temperature on the Celsius scale and on the Fahrenheit scale?
On Celsius it's (-273.15 degrees), on Fahrenheit it's (-459.67 degrees).
-273.15 is this the temperature of absolute zero?
The question is meaningless unless you provide physical units to accompany the number. Absolute zero = 0 kelvin = -273.15 degrees celsius = -459.67 degrees fahrenheit.
Is Celsius or Fahrenheit considered a metric measurement?
No. The base unit of temperature is kelvin. one degree celsius is the same size as one kelvin. The kelvin scale starts at absolute zero. Zero degrees celsius is the melting point of water at normal pressure, which is 273.15 kelvin.
Why is the Kelvin scale not expressed in degrees like the Celsius scale?
It actually is; e.g. "absolute zero is at zero degrees Kelvin".
What is zero degrees called?
Zero Degrees Fahrenheit is called nothing. Zero degrees Celsius is the freezing point for water and the melting point for ice, while Zero degrees Kelvin is called Absolute zero. It is the temperature of space. Now, if you mean when water hits the zero degree celcius mark, it's called the freezing point.
What is the same between fahrenheit and celsius?
The answer is: -40. 40 degrees below zero is the same in Celsius and Fahrenheit. (233.15 kelvin)
What is zero degrees in Kelvin?
0 kelvin = -459.67 degree Fahrenheit
How cold is zero degrees kelvin?
Zero degrees Celsius is about the same as 273 Kelvin. Zero degrees Kelvin is a temperature that has yet to be reached in the lab, or anywhere in the known universe because at zero Kelvin mass ceases to have volume. 0 Kelvin, although only theoretical, is the lowest temperature possible, therefore zero Kelvin is much, much colder.
What is 162 Kelvin below zero equal to in degrees Fahrenheit?
Kelvin starts at absolute zero. There are no negative Kelvin numbers. 162 K = -168.1F
What is zero degrees Kelvin in SI unit of temperature?
Absolute Zero: 0 K (Kelvin) equals -273.15 °C (degrees Celsius) equals -459.67 °F (degrees Fahrenheit).
How cold is absolute zero in Celsius?
Absolute zero is -273.15 degrees Celsius and -459.7 degrees Fahrenheit. Kelvin = degrees Celsius + 273.15
Is zero degrees celsius the same as zero degrees Fahrenheit?
0 degrees Celsius = 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
Where does the absolute zero occur?
It occurs at -273.16 degrees C, -459.68 degrees Fahrenheit, or 0 degrees Kelvin.
At what temperature does ice melt in celsius Fahrenheit and kelvin?
To convert degrees Celsius to Kelvin, add 273. 15 to the temperature. So zero degrees Celsius is equal to 273. 15 Kelvin, the freezing and melting point of water.
What temperature is zero?
-273 degrees Celsius. 0 Degrees Kelvin. −459 Fahrenheit.0K (Kelvin)0 R (Rankine)− 273.16° C (Centigrade = Celsius)−459.67° F (Fahrenheit)
What is the temperature of absolute zero measuered in Celsius?
0 degrees Kelvin = -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit = -273.15 degrees Celsius
What are the differences of Fahrenheit Celsius and Kelvin?
Kelvin and Celsius are almost the same, except the Kelvin scale is 273.15 degrees higher. So zero degree Kelvin (absolute zero) is the same as -273.15 C and 273.15 K is 0 C (freezing point of water). As for Fahrenheit, the freezing point is 32 degrees higher than Celsius, and there are 9 Fahrenheit degrees for every 5 Celsius degrees. So to convert from between Fahrenheit and Celsius: F = C * 9/5 + 32 C = (F - 32) * 5/9 Or if you prefer working with decimals: F = C * 1.8 + 32 C = (F-32) / 1.8
