This definition fixes the magnitude of both the degree Celsius and the kelvin as precisely 1 part in 273.16 (approximately 0.00366) of the difference between absolute zero and the triple point of water. Thus, it sets the magnitude of one degree Celsius and that of one kelvin as exactly the same.
Additionally, it establishes the difference between the two scales' null points as being precisely 273.15 degrees (−273.15 °C = 0 K and 0 °C = 273.15 K).
