Dear effCup: most members don't even know what Kelvin is; Kelvin is the temperature by which all molecular motion ceases. That is equal to absolute zero = to -273.15 degrees Celsius or -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit. The term Kelvin is very popular when used in the field of Astronomy. When a scientist provides the temperature of a given star the temperature is given in Kelvin units.
