The Kelvin scale (symbol: K) is the SI unit of temperature.
It is named in honour of the physicist William Thomson, the first Lord Kelvin (1824–1907).
The Kelvin scale is defined by a specific relationship between the pressure of a gas and the temperature.
This says that "the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature in Kelvin".
This means that Kelvin is an absolute temperature scale, and scientists use this scale more than any other.
The kelvin is a base SI unit of measurement, since 2018 defined by setting the fixed numerical value of the Boltzmann constant k to 1.380649×10−23 J⋅K−1.
The temperature of the triple point of water is a hundredth of a degree Celsius above the freezing point, or 0.01 °C.
The coldest possible temperature is called absolute zero and is equal to -273.15 degrees Celsius, or zero kelvin (0 K).
By writing temperatures in kelvins one does not need to use negative numbers.
The absolute temperature scale was designed so that a change in temperature of 1 kelvin is equal to a change of 1 degree Celsius.
This means that it is easy to convert a temperature from degrees Celsius to kelvin.
To change a temperature in degrees Celsius into Kelvins you must add 273.15 units.
For example, 0 degrees Celsius (0 °C), which is the temperature at which water freezes, is 273.15 kelvins (273.15 K).
To change a temperature in Kelvins into degrees Celsius you must subtract 273.15 units.
For example, 310 kelvins is 36.85 degrees Celsius, which is roughly the normal temperature of a human body.
It is important to notice that the name of this unit is simply kelvin (with a lowercase initial), not "degree Kelvin".
In English, it undergoes normal plural inflection as kelvins.
For example, the boiling point of liquid nitrogen is 77 kelvins.

Tourism means people traveling for fun and adventure .
It includes activities such as sightseeing and camping.
People who travel for fun are called "tourists".
Places where many tourists stay are sometimes called "resorts".
Places that people go to for tourism are called tourist destinations.
There are many reasons why people travel for fun:
Some people travel to learn about the history or culture of a city or country, or about the people who live there, or their ancestors.
People from cold places sometimes like to relax in the sun.
Many people from northern Europe or North America travel to warmer places and visit beaches.
Some people travel to do an activity which they cannot do at home.
There are many ski resorts in the Alps of Switzerland and Austria, and seaside resorts in Greece and other warm countries.
People sometimes visit friends and family in another city or country.
Finally, some people enjoy a change in scenery.
City people go to forests or deserts,  and vice versa.
The tourism industry
The tourism industry has different parts.
Transport; such as airlines, railways, boats, and road transport.
Places to stay; such as hotels, camping grounds or parks, youth hostels, and bed and breakfasts.
Food and drink; such as restaurants, cafes and bars.
Tour guides show people supply local knowledge of a place.
Package tour operators can offer all these services to a group who will go together.
This can be cheaper than paying for them separately.
Damage tourism can bring
Tourism can bring damage to the local area, and/or the tourists.
Litter, scuba-diving and deforestation are problems for popular places such as St. Lucia, Hawaii and others.
Scuba-diving can damage coral reefs which are home to hundreds of species of sea animals.
Tourism can change culture when people learn each others’ ways, and certain local traditions are being put aside for tourists.
Wikivoyage has tourism information for the whole world.

A computer monitor is an electronic device that shows pictures for computers.
Monitors often look similar to televisions.
The main difference between a monitor and a television is that a monitor does not have a television tuner to change channels.
Monitors often have higher display resolution than televisions.
A high display resolution makes it easier to see smaller letters and fine graphics.
The CRT monitor.
These are big and heavy and use a lot of desk space and electricity.
It is the oldest technology used by monitors and is based on the cathode ray tube technology that was developed for television.
Monitors are made with better parts which give a higher display resolution and picture sharpness than a television.
This type of monitor is no longer popular.
The LCD monitor, the most common kind of flat panel display.
It is a newer technology than CRT.
LCD monitors use much less desk space, are lightweight and use less electricity than CRT.
They have been used for many years in the screens of laptop and notebook computers.
They also work as touch screens in tablet computers, mobile phones, and other handheld technologies.
An LED Monitor (short for Light Emitting Diode) or LED display is an LCD Monitor that uses light emitting diodes for backlighting.
The first LCD Monitors used cold cathode fluorescent lamps instead of LEDs to illuminate the screen.
In the early 21st century the price of video projectors has fallen and they are now used in many places to show large images.
These use various technologies to make the image including LCD - Liquid crystal display and DLP - Digital light processing which uses very small mirrors to direct the light.

In geometry, the diameter of a circle is a line from one side directly to the opposite side through the centre.
It can also be defined as the longest chord of a circle.
The same explanations can be also used to describe the diameter in a sphere.
The letter d or the symbol ⌀ are often used as a symbol for the diameter.
The diameter's length is often called the diameter itself.
