The basalt lava at
Kilauea has been measured at 1,160°C which is equivalent to 1453,15 K.
The Kelvin temperature
scale is based on absolute zero, the temperature at which all thermal motion is
stoped. The Kelvin (K) is official unit for temperature in International System
of Units (SI).
The Celsius scale is
based on freezing point of the water. The equation that connect these two
scales is K=C+273.15, where C is temperature in Celsius and K is temperature in
Kelvin. In other word the -273.15°C is absolute zero temperature or 0K.
