Best Answer

In the Kelvin system 0 is set at he coldest possible temperature which is called absolute zero. Each degree kelvin is equal to a degree Celsius. The freezing point of water is 273.15 K so absolute zero is -273.15 deg C. There can be nothing colder than 0 K.

Which temperature measuring system uses the same units as celsius?

The Celsius system and Kelvin system use degrees that are equal to each other in magnitude (in how much heat is in "one degree") but to convert from Celsius to Kelvin you subtract 273.15... from it. Also, for some reason degrees Kelvin are just called kelvins, without adding "degrees".
