Kelvin (K)
Definition
The kelvin (K) is the SI base unit of temperature. Its zero point (0 K = −273.15°C) is absolute zero, the theoretical lowest possible temperature. Each kelvin increment equals one degree Celsius.
History
The kelvin was named after Lord Kelvin (William Thomson), who proposed the absolute temperature scale in 1848. It was adopted as the SI base unit of temperature in 1954, and its definition was revised in 2019 based on the Boltzmann constant.
Current use
Kelvins are the standard temperature unit in physics, chemistry, astronomy, and engineering. Color temperatures of light, cosmic background radiation, and thermodynamic calculations all use kelvins.
Rømer (°Rø)
Definition
Rømer (°Rø) is a temperature scale where 0°Rø was set to the freezing point of brine, 7.5°Rø to the freezing point of water, and 60°Rø to the boiling point of water.
History
The Rømer scale was created in 1701 by Ole Christensen Rømer, a Danish astronomer. Fahrenheit visited Rømer and was inspired by his work, later developing his own scale based on similar reference points.
Current use
The Rømer scale is no longer used practically. It is notable in the history of thermometry as the scale that inspired Fahrenheit's work, and appears in academic discussions of temperature measurement history.
