The unit is the Kelvin. It's often called the 'Celsius degree' because the scale

of temperature that we encounter most often is the Celsius scale, that starts

with zero at the freezing point of water. The 'chips' or steps of temperature

are defined so that there are 100 of them between water's freezing and boiling

temperatures, and those are called Celsius degrees. The size of each one is

one 'Kelvin'.

If you're more comfortable with Fahrenheit temperature, then you put 32 at

the freezing temperature of water, and you use degrees that are 5/9 the size

of 1 Kelvin, so that it takes 180 of them to reach from there to the boiling

point of water.
