About kelvin and celsius
The kelvin is the SI unit of temperature. It starts at absolute zero (0 K = −273.15 °C) and uses degrees the same size as Celsius, so it never goes negative.
The Celsius scale sets the freezing point of water at 0 °C and its boiling point at 100 °C (at sea level). It is used for everyday temperatures in almost every country.
