On the Kelvin scale, 0 is absolute zero, which is the theoretical temperature at which all atomic motion stops. This is not a possible temperature to reach, not even in deep space. There is no "below zero" on the Kelvin scale. Water melts at 273 Kelvin, and boils at 373 Kelvin.

What is the two major temperature scales of the boiling point?
There are actually three commonly used temperature scales used in the world today. In the U.S. the Fahrenheit scale is commonly used. In scientific research and throughout most of the western world the Celsius, or centigrade scale is most commonly used. In some special cases a very low register scale, Kelvin is used.
Give 3 example of thermometer?
Three scales commonly used for temperature are the Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin scales.Fahrenheit scale - Water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°FCelsius scale (centigrade) - Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°CKelvin scale - same scale as Celsius degrees, but offset to begin at "absolute zero" (-273.15°C), i.e. water freezes at 273.15°K and boils at 373.15°K

Why only 273 kelvin why not 280 kelvin?
Because this zero point is considered the lowest possible temperature of anything in the universe. Therefore, the Kelvin scale is also known as the "absolute temperature scale". The Kelvin scale is a thermodynamic temperature scale where absolute zero, the theoretical absence of all thermal energy, is zero (0 K). Also: That's just the way some things are, really. You don't ask, "Why only 100 degrees Celsius and not 110?"
What do you mean by 1 degree celsius of rise in temperature equal to 1 kelvin of rise in temperature of a substance?
1 kelvin and 1 celsius degree are both exactly the same thing ... a unit of temperature, equal to 1/100 of the difference between the freezing and boiling points of water. The only difference between the Kelvin scale and the Celsius scale is that they start from different temperatures ... the Celsius number starts from the freezing point of water, whereas the Kelvin scale starts from 'absolute zero'. So the Kelvin temperature will always be 273.15 more than the Celsius temperature ... because it starts at 273.15 lower. But when the temperature changes by some number of Celsius degrees, it changes by exactly the same number of Kelvins, because 1 Kelvin is exactly the same size as 1 Celsius degree.
How do you use kelvin scale?
The Kelvin scale measures temperature. You can use it the same way you would use the Fahrenheit scale or the Celsius scale, but it also has an additional use. Since the Kelvin scale starts at the true zero of temperature, when there is no random thermal motion, rather than starting at some arbitrary point such as the freezing point of water (Celsius) or the coldest temperature that was obtainable in the laboratory at the time the Fahrenheit scale was first devised, you can make much more meaningful comparisons in Kelvin. If something has twice the temperature in Kelvin than something else has, then it actually is twice as hot. That is not true of other temperature scales. 20oC is not twice as hot as 10oC. But 20oK actually is twice as hot as 10oK.
What temp scale is used mostly by scientists?
The temperature scale commonly used in science is the Celsius or centigrade scale. The Kelvin scale is most often used in the thermodynamic and astronomical fields (and especially when dealing with temperatures close to absolute zero).There are two temperature scales used by scientists. The first scale, Kelvin, is the SI (Standard Unit) or official unit used in certain cases. Informally, and more commonly is the Celsius scale.The older Fahrenheit scale (and its absolute version, the Rankine) are still used in the US and some other countries, but not generally for scientific purposes to avoid misunderstandings in data comparison.
What are two ways Fahrenheit is different than kelvin or celsius?
The difference between the boiling and freezing point of pure water, at atmospheric pressure, is 100 on both, the degrees Celsius and Kelvin scales. It is 180 on the Fahrenheit scale. The USA and some Caribbean islands are the only countries whose official temperature scale is Fahrenheit; in all other countries, and specially amongst scientists, the scale used is Celsius or Kelvin.
What kind of scale is used to measure mass?

What does Degrees Kelvin mean?
Kelvin(K) is a unit increment of temperature and is one of the seven SI base units. You can convert Celsius to kelvin by using this formula: [°C] = [K] − 273.15 You can convert Fahrenheit to kelvin by using this formula: [°F] = [K] × 9⁄5 − 459.67 You can convert kelvin to Celsius by using this formula: [K] = [°C] + 273.15 You can convert kelvin to Fahrenheit by using this formula: [K] = ([°F] + 459.67) × 5⁄9

What temperature is not used in science?
Scientists have over the years used many temperature scales but have standardised on the Kelvin scale in modern times.
What is Celsius used for?
The Celsius (or Centigrade) scale is the predominant scale used to measure temperature worldwide. The United States is one of only a few countries where the Fahrenheit scale remains more common. A third scale, Kelvin, is used in some specialist applications, such as by physicists.
What are some pros of Celsius?
There is basically ONE pro, which is that it's an international standard. Other than that, there is really no inherent advantage of the Celsius scale. Note that in scientific work, the Kelvin scale is used instead.
