Each unit on this scale, called a Kelvin rather than a degreeis equal to a degreeon the Celsius scale. For this reason, just the K, not the degree symbol, is usedwhen reporting temperatures in Kelvin. There are no negative numbers on theKelvin scale, as the lowest number is 0 K

because kelvin or degree both are equal on the celsius scale.
and 0 degree centigrate=273K . So we can say that both (kelvin and degree) are equal on the basis of calsius scale.
