The scale we use for temperature is "degrees" (°). There are three temperature scales that are used today. The Kelvin (K) scale is used by scientists and for astronomical temperatures. The Celsius scale (°C) is used in most of the world to measure air temperatures. In the United States, the Fahrenheit scale(°F) is used to measure temperatures at or near the surface.

What temperature degree celsius and kelvin are same?

The 'kelvin' and the celsius 'degree' are identical temperature intervals ... they are the same size. The marks on the kelvin thermometer and the marks on the celsius thermometer are the same distance apart. Both scales have 100 divisions between the freezing and boiling temperatures of water, but the scales start at different places. (Kelvin starts at 'absolute zero', celsius starts at the freezing temperature of water.) The graphs of these two scales are parallel lines. The graphs never intersect, meaning that there is no temperature where kelvin and celsius are the same number.
