Definitions |
Temperature is measured with thermometers that may be calibrated to a variety of temperature scales. Most scientists measure temperature using the Celsius scale and thermodynamic temperature using the Kelvin scale, which is the Celsius scale offset so that its null point is 0K = −273.15°C, or absolute zero. The basic unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI) is the kelvin. It has the symbol K. |
