About Kelvin (K)

The kelvin is the SI base unit of thermodynamic temperature, with 0 K representing absolute zero -- the theoretical point where all molecular motion ceases. Scientists and engineers use kelvin in thermodynamics, astrophysics (the Sun's surface is about 5,778 K), and color temperature for lighting (e.g., 6500 K daylight).

About Celsius (°C)

The Celsius scale sets 0 degrees at the freezing point of water and 100 degrees at its boiling point under standard atmospheric pressure. Used by virtually every country except the United States for weather, cooking, and scientific measurements, Celsius was proposed by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742.
