Here's why:
* Kelvin (K): The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale, meaning its zero point represents the theoretical point where all molecular motion stops.
* Celsius (°C): The Celsius scale is based on the freezing and boiling points of water.
The conversion between Celsius and Kelvin is:
* K = °C + 273.15
Therefore, when the temperature is -273.15°C, the Kelvin value is:
* K = -273.15 + 273.15 = 0 K
So, at -273.15 degrees, both scales have the same numerical value.
