Of course, it should also be noted that the Kelvin scale is an absolute scale; that is, it is founded upon an absolute measure of temperature. Heat is a measure of the average kinetic energy of a particle. If this kinetic energy is at zero, then the temperature is at absolute zero on the Kelvin scale (which requires an infinite amount of energy input to achieve). Degrees Celsius is a relative scale, it is based upon the boiling and freezing points of water - and therefore it is relative.
Tamim's response answers to the role in which Charles' Law comes into play. The Kelvin scale is the natural scale of science in many levels.
