difference between kelvin scale and celsius scale

Degree Celsius  relates to, the Celsius temperature scale (previously known as the centigrade scale). The scale based on 0 for the freezing point of water and 100 for the boiling point of water. 0o C accounts to 273.15 K.
Kelvin scale, which is the SI base unit of temperature (symbol: K). It has as its zero point absolute zero, the theoretical temperature at which the molecules of a substance have the lowest energy. 0K accounts to -273.15oC
They both are related as:
K = °C + 273.15
°C = K − 273.15

TheKelvin scale starts atabsolute zero, where particles stop moving.TheCelsius scale has degrees the same size as Kelvin, but sets 0 as the freezing pint of water and 100 as the boiling point of water. 0 C is 273 degrees K, The Kelvin scale starts 273 lower than Celsius. absolute zero on the Celsius scale is -273 Add 273 to K to get C

kelvin scale does not give negative value but celcius scale can give a negative value too.

celcius scale takes two arbitrary values of freezing point and boiling point of ice while kelvin scale considers absolute zero and triple point of water as two fixed values.
