How is one degree kelvin Temperature defined?

Question

In other words what do they mean by temperature.?

What kind of Units is one degree temperature representing?

Answer 1

Kelvin is an absolute scale because it goes from absolute zero to infinity. 1 degree Kelvin is equal to -272.15 degrees Celcius and -457.87 degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 2

The unit “kelvin” and its scale are, by international agreement, defined by two points: absolute zero, and the triple point of specially prepared ocean water. Absolute zero is defined as being precisely 0 K and –273.15 °C. Absolute zero is where all kinetic motion in the particles comprising matter ceases and they are at complete rest in the “classic” (non-quantum mechanical) sense. At absolute zero, matter contains no heat energy. Also, the triple point of water is defined as being precisely 273.16 K and 0.01 °C. This definition does three things: 1) it fixes the magnitude of the kelvin unit as being precisely 1 part in 273.16 parts the difference between absolute zero and the triple point of water; 2) it establishes that one kelvin has precisely the same magnitude as a one degree increment on the Celsius scale; and 3) it establishes the difference between the two scales’ null points as being precisely 273.15 kelvins (0 K = –273.15 °C and 273.16 K = 0.01 °C). Temperatures in kelvin can be converted to other units per the table at top right.

Answer 3

1 C = 273.15 K ------> 1 K = 1/273.15 C
