Open in App
Solution

Temperature

  1. The average kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules in the system is measured by temperature, which is a physical term that expresses hot and cold.
  2. Kelvin, denoted by the sign K in the International System of Units, is the SI unit of temperature.
  3. The proportion of 1 by 273.16 of the triple point of water's thermodynamic temperature is the kelvin, a thermodynamic temperature unit.
  4. One kelvin is equal to -273.15oC or -459.7oF.
  5. On the Kelvin Scale, temperatures are always positive. As a result, it's also known as the Absolute Scale.

Hence, the SI unit of temperature is kelvin (K).
