Description

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.

Réaumur (°Ré): The 18th Century French Temperature Scale

The Réaumur scale, symbolized as °Ré, was introduced by French scientist René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur in the early 18th century. It sets the freezing point of water at 0°Ré and the boiling point at 80°Ré. This scale was widely used in Europe, particularly in France and Germany, for several decades. While it has been largely replaced by the Celsius scale, the Réaumur scale remains a significant part of the history of thermometry.
