∙ 13y agoBecause most developed countries have adopted the SI system under which temperature is measured on the Celsius (or Kelvin) scale.
William Thomson, also known as Lord Kelvin developed the kelvin scale.
The Kelvin scale (apex)
Lord Kelvin, designed a new scale because he thought it was inconveinient to use negetive values when measuring very cold tempertures.
Any scale can be used; the absolute, rational, thermodynamic based scale is the Kelvin scale.
the Kelvin temperature scale is not used for everyday measurements in any country. It is used by scientists in every country.
Kelvin scale is named after a famous British mathematician and physicis william thomson ans first Baron kelvin
The basic unit is a Kelvin but it is common to use a degree Celsius. The Kelvin scale is absolute whereas the zero point on the Celsius scale is arbitrary.
Kelvin and Celsius are both units used to measure temperature. Celsius is typically used in countries that use the metric system. Kelvin is used in a scientific or academic setting, because it's scale is more precise than Celsius.
Kelvin
It's compatible with kelvin.
The temperature scale that has no negative values is the Kelvin scale, because it has its zero point at the lowest possible measurable temperature (absolute zero).The similarly based scale using Fahrenheit intervals (degrees) is the Rankine scale. The Kelvin scale starts at (the minimum) absolute zero. (0 K = -273 oC)
It has the same magnitude as kelvin.
This scale is mostly used in scientific applications.
Because most developed countries have adopted the SI system under which temperature is measured on the Celsius (or Kelvin) scale.
William Thomson, Baron Kelvin the First, first called for the use of this scale in 1848.
The Kelvin scale, usually, but chemistry and allied disciplines use Celsius sometimes.
