hiiiiiiiiiiiii
No degree sign is used on the Kelvin scale.
The temperature scale that has no negative values is the Kelvin scale, because it has its zero point at the lowest possible measurable temperature (absolute zero).The similarly based scale using Fahrenheit intervals (degrees) is the Rankine scale. The Kelvin scale starts at (the minimum) absolute zero. (0 K = -273 oC)
100 °C is equal to 373.15 KThe Kelvin scale uses the same degree interval as Celsius, but has its zero point at Absolute Zero (-273.15 °C), so all Kelvin temperatures are 273.15 degrees higher than the Celsius temperature. Kelvin temperatures do not use the ° sign or the word "degrees", as this is understood.Whatever it is in Celsius add 273.15 and it equals Kelvin. 100 Celsius is 373.15 Kelvin

273.15 K (Note that the degree sign is not used with the Kelvin temperature scale)
Dear Wiki Questioner, The freezing point of water occurs at 273.15 K. We can calculate this because water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius, and we can convert from Celsius to Kelvin with the following Formula: Temperature in Kelvin = 273.15 + Temperature in Celsius So if our Temperature of freezing water in Celsius is 0 degrees, we know that our temperature in Kelvin is 273.15 + 0 = 273.15
Different temperature scales have different zero points. The Celsius scale has the freezing point of water as zero degrees. The Fahrenheit has the freezing point of water at 32 degrees. The Kelvin scale has it's zero point at the theoretical coldest temperature. This is equivelent to (note the minus sign) -273.15 degrees Celsius. So the frezing point of water on the Kelvin scale would be (plus) 273.15 degrees Kelvin. Different scales are used for differing purposes. ==========================================
The Celsius sign is the C; the little circley thing at the top is the degree sign and goes before the C
Originally the unit was referred to as a "degree absolute" and written oK. In the late 1960s it was decided to specify precisely what scale was being referred to (there's another absolute temperature scale called the Rankine scale which is based on the Fahrenheit degree). So, the unit was changed from "degree absolute" to "kelvin" and the abbreviation was changed to drop the degree mark. This brought the fundamental SI temperature unit in line with the other fundamental SI units.
Just by definition in the SI naming convention.
Celsius and Fahrenheit are relative scales which are compared with freezing and boiling points of water. While kelvin is not relative and is an absolute scale. From graphical representation of Charles's when one extrapolate the graph straight, it will touch the zero volume at -273.16 Celsius or OK. This OK is the start or emergence of kelvin scale which is not related to anything, but absolute.
Kelvin is the SI unit. But since it has the same size "degree" as Celsius, the two scales are used interchangeably for the appropriate ranges of temperature. K is used where the temperature is very low (e.g. 40 K) or very high (e.g. 2000 K), with Celsius used for familiar everyday applications. 0 Kelvin is equal to -273.15 degrees centigrade. Kelvin uses the same interval as the centigrade (Celsius) scale. It was created with zero at the lowest possible theoretical temperature (absolute zero). Kelvin is written without a degrees sign and with an uppercase K. e.g. the melting point of ice is 273.15 K.
