  "term": "Kelvin temperature scale",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definitions": [
    "An absolute thermodynamic temperature scale where zero Kelvin (0 K) represents absolute zero, the theoretical point at which all thermal motion ceases. It is an SI (International System of Units) base unit for temperature, with one Kelvin degree being equal in magnitude to one degree Celsius. This scale is widely used in scientific and engineering applications, particularly in thermodynamics.",
    "An absolute temperature scale in which a change of 1 Kelvin equals a change of 1 degree Celsius; 0ºK is the lowest temperature on the Kelvin scale. The freezing point of water is +273ºK (Kelvin) and the boiling point of +373ºK. It is used primarily for scientific purposes. It is also known as the Absolute Temperature Scale."
