KELVIN SCALE: Kelvin scale is one of the seven SI base Units. It is unit increment of temperature basically and it is a temperature scale referenced to absolute zero. The Kelvin scale and the kelvin are named after the Belfast-born physicist and engineer William Thompson, 1st Baron Kelvin. Something special about the kelvin scale is that no degrees sign is added behind the symbol!!!


 * || from Kelvin || to Kelvin ||
 * Celsius || [° C] = [K] − 273.15 || [K] = [°C] + 273.15 ||
 * Fahrenheit || [°F] = [K] × 9 ⁄ 5 − 459.67 || [K] = ([°F] + 459.67) × 5 ⁄ 9 ||
 * Rankine || [°R] = [K] × 9 ⁄ 5 || [K] = [°R] × 5 ⁄ 9 ||

ABSOLUTE ZERO Absolute zero is the temperature at which entropy would reach minimum value.

4 TYPES OF DEVICES (TEMPERATURE) 4 types of device that can measure temperature are CELSIUS, FAHRENHEIT, RANKINE and KELVIN.
