Because this zero point is considered the lowest possible temperature of anything in the universe. Therefore, the Kelvin scale is also known as the "absolute temperature scale". The Kelvin scale is a thermodynamic temperature scale where absolute zero, the theoretical absence of all thermal energy, is zero (0 K). Also: That's just the way some things are, really. You don't ask, "Why only 100 degrees Celsius and not 110?"

What is the temature of 293k in cesious and farinhiat?

Converting Kelvin itu Celsius : X Kelvin = (X-273) Celsius 293 Kelvin = 293-273 celcius 293 kelvin = 20 celcius Converting Kelvin to Fahrenheit : X Kelvin = ((X-273) * 1.8) + 32 Fahrenheit 293 Kelvin = ((293-273) * 1.8) + 32 Fahrenheit 293 Kelvin = 68 Fahrenheit

How many degreesis in a kelvin?

1 Kelvin is equal to 1 Degree Celsius, the only difference is that the so called 'starting point' for degrees is 0 instead of in Kelvins it is 273, so for example 21 degrees in kelvins is 273 + 21 = 294 Kelvin likewise 300 Kelvin converted to Degrees is 300-273 = 27 degrees. Kelvin is used is some chemistry equations because of the mathematics involved with it wouldn't work with degrees as they can go negative where as kelvins can only go to 0(-273 degrees theoretically the lowest temp achievable)
