Best Answer

K means degrees Kelvin (or degrees absolute).

The Kelvin scale is a thermodynamic (absolute) temperature scale where absolute zero, the theoretical absence of all thermal energy, is zero (0 K). thus the boiling point of water (100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit) is 373.15 degrees Kelvin.
