Why does Kelvin (temperature unit) not have “degrees” like Celsius or Fahrenheit?

Answer 1

Because when they defined the unit, they defined it that way: https://www.bipm.org/en/committees/cg/cgpm/13-1967/resolution-3

They could have defined it differently, but they decide not to, there is nothing absolute about the size of 1Kelvin, it’s the same as the size of 1 degree Celsius, the only difference is it’s starting point.
