Solution

The unit of temperature in the SI system is Kelvin.

A degree on the kelvin scale has the same magnitude as the degree on the Celsius scale but zero on the kelvin scale is equal to -273.15°C.
The temperature (0 K) is often referred to as absolute zero.
K =(0°C+ 273.15)
°C= (K-273.15)
There is another important temperature scale known as the Fahrenheit scale.

In this scale, the normal freezing point of water is 32°F and the normal boiling point is 212°F. Thus, 100°C equals 180°F.

Both the scales are related by the following equations:
°C=59x(°F-32) [since 100 parts on the Celsius scale = 180 parts on the Fahrenheit scale]

°F=[95x°C]+32

°F=[95x(-273)°C]+32-459.4460°F
