Firstly, temperatures measured in Kelvin (K) are not degrees but rather, just numbers. However, 373 K is the same as 100 degrees C. At that temperature, pure water begins to boil at sea level.
The fiducial point on the Kelvin temperature scale is the triple point of water, which is defined as 273.16 K. This point is used as a reference to calibrate the Kelvin scale.
1 degree Kelvin is equal to -457.87 degrees Fahrenheit.
The temperature scale where water froze at 273 degrees is likely the Kelvin scale. On the Kelvin scale, 0 degrees represents absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature where all molecular motion ceases. Hence, 273 degrees Kelvin corresponds to 0 degrees Celsius.
1 Kelvin "degree" is the same as a "degree" in Celsius. The two scales just have different starting points. So 1 Kelvin degree is the same temperature interval as 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees. (The actual temperature 1°K is equal to -272.15°C or -457.87°F )
