The basic unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI) is the kelvin (K)
Other Temperature units are:
Celsius (C)
Fahrenheit (F)
Kelvin (K)
Reaumur (R)
Rankine

The unit of temperature used in Science is the Kelvin degree. The kelvin degree is also equal to a Celsius degree
So 1°K = 1°C
the only difference is that you have the temperature in Celsius, you must aid 273 to have it in Kelvin
ex 25C =25+273=298K
But the fahrenheit degree is smaller than the Cesius
1°F = 5/9 °C

In science the KELVIN is used (!!!NOTE!!! "kelvin" must NOT be followed by the word "degree"- e.g. 273 Kelvin, NOT 273 deegres Kelvin.). The "kelvin" scale starts at absolute zero ( thats the temperature at wich all molecular movement stops).
Other scales are Celsius- wich uses as reference points 0 deg Celsius ( temp at wich pure water freezes) and 100 deg. Celsius ( temp. at wich pure liquid water turns to vapors).
Others scales are Fahrenheit and Rakine
