Description

Celsius (°C): The Metric Temperature Standard

The Celsius scale, symbolized as °C, is a metric temperature scale widely used around the world. It sets the freezing point of water at 0°C and the boiling point at 100°C under standard atmospheric conditions. This scale is integral in daily life, weather forecasting, and scientific research. The Celsius scale is directly related to the Kelvin scale, with a conversion formula of K = °C + 273.15, facilitating seamless transitions between the two systems.

Kelvin (K): The Absolute Temperature Scale

The Kelvin (K) is the SI base unit for thermodynamic temperature, named after the British physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin. Unlike other temperature scales, Kelvin starts at absolute zero, the point where molecular motion ceases. This scale is pivotal in scientific research, especially in physics and chemistry, as it provides an absolute reference point for temperature measurements. The Kelvin scale is widely used in scientific contexts, including thermodynamics, astronomy, and cryogenics.
