The Kelvin scale is an absolute, or thermodynamic, temperature scale because its zero point is absolute zero. It is the International System of Units standard for scientific temperature measurements. Its basic unit, the kelvin, is the same size as a Celsius degree. The scale is defined so that the Boltzmann constant equals 1.380649 Γ 10β23 joule per kelvin.
