What unit is used to measure surface temperatures of planets?
Kelvin
What are 2 scales that measure temperature?
Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin are used to measure temperatures.
What unit do scientists use to measure the surface temperatures of stars?
Kelvin (K)
The kelvin scale is used to measure what?
The Kelvin scale is used to measure absolute temperature, i.e., temperature from absolute zero. The way it is defined, there are no negative temperatures on the Kelvin scale.The Kelvin scale is used to measure absolute temperature, i.e., temperature from absolute zero.

What scale is used to measure very low temperatures?
Any scale can be used; the absolute, rational, thermodynamic based scale is the Kelvin scale.
Is a kelvin equal to a Celsius?
Units are the same. Temperatures in kelvin are 273 more than celsius temperatures.
How would a thermometer has measure temperatures using the kelvin scale differ from one that measure temperatures using the celsius scale?
The degrees are the same size on both thermometers. But when the two thermometers are side by side and at the same temperature, the number of the reading on the Celsius thermometer is 273.15 higher than the number of the reading on the Kelvin thermometer.
What does k in temperatures stand for?
Kelvin
What are the units of temperature called?
The units or measurement of temperature are in degrees. You can measure degrees in either Fahrenheit, Celsius, or Kelvin.In the US we measure in Fahrenheit degrees. In the metric system, you also use Celsius degrees. However, the SI unit of temperature is called the kelvin. It depends on where you are and what kind of temperatures you are measuring.oC,oF and K (statements of Kelvin temperatures do NOT use the degree mark)
At which of these Kelvin temperatures would a blackbody radiate mostly at visible wavelengths?
6000 Kelvin
Can temperatures reported in the kelvin scale be negative?
no
The kelvin scale is used to express absolute temperatures in the English system of measurement?
kelvin scale
