    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_constants

    The constants listed here are known values of physical constants expressed in SI units; that is, physical quantities that are generally believed to be universal in nature and thus are independent of the unit system in which they are measured.

    [54] [5] [55] [56] The unit's symbol K is a capital letter, [39] per the SI convention to capitalize symbols of units derived from the name of a person. [57] It is common convention to capitalize Kelvin when referring to Lord Kelvin [5] or the Kelvin scale. [58] The unit symbol K is encoded in Unicode at code point U+212A KELVIN SIGN.

    The table usually lists only one name and symbol that is most commonly used. The final column lists some special properties that some of the quantities have, such as their scaling behavior (i.e. whether the quantity is intensive or extensive ), their transformation properties (i.e. whether the quantity is a scalar , vector , matrix or tensor ...

    K thermodynamic temperature "The kelvin, symbol K, is the SI unit of thermodynamic temperature. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Boltzmann constant k to be 1.380 649 × 10 −23 when expressed in the unit J K −1, which is equal to kg m 2 s −2 K −1, where the kilogram, metre and second are defined in terms of h, c ...

    K is the unit symbol for the kelvin, used to measure thermodynamic temperature (the degree sign is not used with this symbol). K is the chemical symbol for element potassium (from its Latin name kalium). Triangle K. In chess notation, the letter K represents the King (WK for White King, BK for Black King).
