kelvin
273 kelvin is colder than 280 kelvin.
Lord Kelvin
From Sir William Thomas, Lord Kelvin, who was an English mathematician and physicist (1827 - 1907)

To convert from degrees Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15. Therefore, 73 K is 346.15 degrees C. Incidentally, Kelvin is an absolute scale, so the term "degree" is dropped from the units.

absolute zero
Kelvin does have units. Kelvin is the unit.
If we could determine the total mass of the universe we might be able to come up with a theoretical upper limit of what is possible, but for all practical purposes the Kelvin scale has no upper limit.
kelvin
Kelvin (unit) is named after Lord Kelvin.
kelvin = celsius + 273 kelvin = 245 +273 kelvin = 518
