Because Kelvin is a scale reflection of reality, of what heat is; the amount of molecular and atomic movement. At 0 Kelvin, a temperature not yet reached, all movement stops and their is no upper limit to the Kelvin scale either.

What is the equation that describes the relationship between kelvin and celsius?
The Celsius and Kelvin scales actually equate at a 1 to 1 ratio. The Kelvin scale is calculated at 273.15 degrees higher than Celsius, however, since Celsius puts 0 at the freezing point, while Kelvin puts 0 at absolute zero.
City X has summers around 25 degrees centigrade and winters around 5 degrees centigrade. City Y has summers around 30 degrees centigrade and winters around -20 degrees centigrade. What might cause thi?
city y is in the middle of a continent while city x is on a coast
How cold does it have to be for water to instantly freeze?
It depends on concentration of salt. Adding four tablespoons of salt to a mix of 1 liter of water and a tray of icecubes will thaw the ice while dropping temperature of the mix down to 14 degrees centigrade below zero.
City X has summers around 25 degrees centigrade and winters around 5 degrees centigrade. City Y has summers around 30 degrees centigrade and winters around -20 degrees centigrade. What might cause this difference?
City X is on the equator, while City Y is just north of the equator.
What is colder 40 degrees Celsius or 40 degrees Fahrenheit?
40 degrees Celsius is hotter and is equal to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, while 40 degrees Fahrenheit is someone cold compared to 40 degrees Celsius and is equal to 4.44 degrees Celsius. So to answer the question 40 degrees Fahrenheit is colder.
What is the base unit for thermodynamic temperature?
There are three units of temperature. The one most commonly used among the public is Fahrenheit. Scientists most commonly us Celsius. While chemists prefer the Kelvin. To provide some perspective, one kelvin equals -272.15 degrees Celsius, which equals -457.87 degrees Fahrenheit.

Why do celsius and Fahrenheit have degree symbol while kelvin has no?
Kelvin uses the letter K as its symbol.
Can centigrade and Fahrenheit be negative?
Yes, they can. Centigrade (Celsius) can go as low as -273.15 degrees C. The same temperature on the Fahrenheit scale is -459.67 degrees -- both indicate absolute zero (0K). A notable difference caused by having "degrees" of two different sizes and definitions is that negative temperatures on Celsius indicate "below the freezing point of water" (0 degrees C), while below freezing on the Fahrenheit scale includes positive values from 31 down to 0, the freezing point being 32 degrees F.

What are the boiling point ranges of petrol and diesel?
Petrol has a boiling point of 38-204 degrees Centigrade, while diesel has a boiling point of >150 degrees centigrade.
City X has summers around 25 degrees centigrade and winters around 5 degrees centigrade. City Y has summers around 30 degrees centigrade and winters around -20 degrees centigrade. What might cause this difference?
City X is on the equator, while City Y is just north of the equator.
What is kelvin's exact value?
The Kelvin is the international unit of temperature. Zero kelvin is the lowest possible temperature (approximately minus 273 degrees Celsius), and a difference of 1 Kelvin is the same as a difference of 1 degree Celsius. Thus, for example, 273 Kelvin = 0 degrees Celsius, while 373 Kelvin = 100 degrees Celsius.
Does water expand when warmed?
Yes, like most substances - above 4 degrees centigrade. From 0 to 4 degrees centigrade, the volume of water will actually decrease while the temperature increases.
What is colder 40 degrees Celsius or 40 degrees Fahrenheit?
40 degrees Celsius is hotter and is equal to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, while 40 degrees Fahrenheit is someone cold compared to 40 degrees Celsius and is equal to 4.44 degrees Celsius. So to answer the question 40 degrees Fahrenheit is colder.
Why do we have three different temperature scales?
Historical reasons. Actually, there were yet other scales, especially Reaumur; fortunately, it disappeared.Unfortunately, some countries still use Fahrenheit; it will take a while until they adopt the international standard. The scale that should be used nowadays is Centigrade; or (for scientific work) Kelvin.Historical reasons.
