kelvin |
The SI unit of temperature. Spell out on first mention. Note the lower-case k (all SI units are lower case when spelled out); can be abbreviated to K (upper case) in subsequent mentions. Note that, although it is a measure of temperature, it is a standalone unit, not a type of degree, so never write "degrees kelvin" or "°K". The plural of kelvin is kelvins. Read more |
