Kelvin is the SI unit. But since it has the same size "degree" as Celsius, the two scales are used interchangeably for the appropriate ranges of temperature. K is used where the temperature is very low (e.g. 40 K) or very high (e.g. 2000 K), with Celsius used for familiar everyday applications.

0 Kelvin is equal to -273.15 degrees centigrade. Kelvin uses the same interval as the centigrade (Celsius) scale. It was created with zero at the lowest possible theoretical temperature (absolute zero). Kelvin is written without a degrees sign and with an uppercase K. e.g. the melting point of ice is 273.15 K.
