It would make little sense to talk about kilo-degrees, or micro-degrees, because degrees Celsius doesn’t relate well to the amount of heat. That’s what Kelvin is for.

Kelvin is still rooted in Celsius, just by an offset of 273.15

For that matter, so is Fahrenheit, with the relationship (x + 459.67) × 5/9 K, where x is degrees F.

Let’s make a new scale, between 0 and 1
Zero is where everything turns solid, One where everything boils and vaporizes…
