The unit of Celsius temperature is the degree Celsius, "C, equal in size to
the kelvin. However, temperatures on the Celsius scale are 273.15 degrees
lower than on the Kelvin scale. Thus the lower limit of temperature, called
absolute zero on the Kelvin scale, occurs at -273.15"C.
Temperature Thus the lower limit of temperature on the Fahrenheit
scale is -459.67CF). The relation between the Fahrenheit
and Celsius scales is:
In addition to the Kelvin and The ice point is therefore 32("F) and the normal boiling
Celsius scales two others are still point of water is 212("F).

is an absolute scale directly related
to the Kelvin scale by:
