    K doesn’t use the ° symbol ;)

    And the increments of kelvin are the same as Celsius, they’re just at different points, where at 0K absolutely nothing is a gas or a liquid.

    (Trying to decipher it right but you’re suggesting 0K be renamed -100°??

      My bad, don’t use Kelvin all that often 😂

      Just joking around, but setting a scale is just a matter of fixing zero and choosing the size of your degree. So -50º would be halfway to absolute zero and 0º can be any reference point you want.
