Celsius is not an SI unit. The SI unit for temperature is Kelvin (K). This has the same scale as Celsius, the difference is 0 K is absolute zero and not the temperature of iced water.
0 K equals -273.15C

∙ 12y agoThe SI (systemme internationale) or international system for measuring temperature is the centigrade scale. The centigrade degree or "Celsius" as it is more commonly referred to after its founder is based on the freezing and boiling temperatures of water. Zero degrees is the freezing point of water and one-hundred degrees is the boiling point of water. The Kelvin Scale is also commonly used in science when working with gases using the Ideal Gas Law equation.

∙ 7y agoStrictly speaking the unit for temperature is a Kelvin but a Kelvin degree is the same as a Celsius degree. It is just that the zero on the Kelvin scale is the absolute zero for thermodynamic activity whereas on the Celsius scale it is arbitrary.

Can temperature be used in si units?
The SI unit of temperature is the Kelvin. It's the same size as the Celsius degree.
What is the SI basic unit of temperature?
Basic unit of temperature is kelvin or celsius. 0 C = 273.15 K
What is the unit symbol for the SI unit that represents temperature?
Symbol K, for Kelvin. (Do not use 'degree' in conjuction with this)
What the SI unit for temperatures?
The scale used is usually Celsius or Kelvin.AnswerThe SI unit of temperature is the kelvin (K). Celsius is a metric unit, but not an SI unit, although it may be 'used alongside' the SI system.
What is the si official si unit for temperature?
The official SI unit for temperature is Celsius. The symbol is °C.
Si unit temperature?
The SI unit of temperature is Kelvin, but degrees Celsius is a derived SI unit for temperature and more commonly used.
Is degrees Celsius an SI unit?
Yes it is.
What is the nonSI unit for temperature?
The SI unit for temperature is Kelvin.Kelvin = Celsius + 273Fahrenheit and Celsius are non SI units, however, Celsius is used in science as it is so easily converted to Kelvin.
SI unit of F?
The temperature in Fahrenheit is no SI unit. Use kelvin or degrees Celsius instead.
What are two scales scientists use as to measure temperature and what is the official SI unit for temperature?
Scientists use celsius and kelvin. The SI unit for temperature is Celsius.
What is the Si temperature unit?
degrees celsius
Is Newton or Kelvin is the SI unit for temperature?
Yes kelvin is a si base unit. Kelvin is a fundamental unit of SI for thermodynamic temperature.
How do you measure temperature in the SI measuring system?
The SI unit of measurement for temperature is the kelvin(K). Celsius is not an SI unit (it is a metric unit), but may be used alongside it.
What is the official si unit for temperature scale?
The official SI unit for temperature is Celsius. The symbol is °C.
Metric unit for temperture?
Celsius is the metric unit. Kelvin is the International System(SI) unit.
