Definitions

kelvin (K)

The SI base unit of thermodynamic temperature.

The kelvin (symbol: K) is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). It is an absolute temperature scale where 0 K represents absolute zero. Since 2019, the kelvin is defined by fixing the numerical value of the Boltzmann constant.

degree Celsius (°C)

Metric scale based on water's freezing/boiling points.

The degree Celsius (°C) is a unit of temperature on the Celsius scale. It was originally defined by the freezing point (0 °C) and boiling point (100 °C) of water at standard pressure. It is now defined relative to the kelvin, where 0 °C corresponds to 273.15 K.

degree Fahrenheit (°F)

Scale used primarily in the United States.

The degree Fahrenheit (°F) is a unit of temperature on the Fahrenheit scale. Water freezes at 32 °F and boils at 212 °F at standard pressure. It is the official temperature scale in the United States.

degree Rankine (°R)

Absolute scale using Fahrenheit degrees.

The Rankine scale (°R) is an absolute scale of thermodynamic temperature, similar to Kelvin but using the Fahrenheit degree as its unit increment. 0 °R is absolute zero, which corresponds to -459.67 °F.
