Absolute temperature scale
a measure of temperature in which zero degrees is absolute zero. The Rankine absolute temperature scale corresponds to degrees Fahrenheit, in which water freezes at 491.691 and boils at 671.691. The Kelvin absolute temperature scale corresponds to degrees centigrade, in which water freezes at 2731 and boils at 373

Absolute temperature scale
The temperature scale in which 0 = absolute zero, 273 = the freezing point of water, and 373 = the boiling point of water. The units are called Kelvins. One Kelvin = 1°C.

Kelvin
The kelvin (symbol: K) is a unit increment of temperature and is one of the seven SI base units. The Kelvin scale is a thermodynamic (absolute) temperature scale where absolute zero — the coldest possible temperature — is zero kelvins (0 K).
The Kelvin scale and the kelvin are named after the Irish-born physicist and engineer William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin (1824 – 1907), who wrote of the need for an “absolute thermometric scale.”
