Kelvin Scale

Description:

The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale used primarily in scientific and technical contexts. Named after the physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, it is based on the concept of absolute zero, which is the point at which all molecular motion ceases. On the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is defined as 0 Kelvin (K), and temperature readings are expressed in Kelvins.

Sample Sentences:

1. The Kelvin scale is widely used in scientific research and engineering applications.
