Conversion Formula
Celsius to Kelvin
K = °C + 273.15
Example: 0°C = 0 + 273.15 = 273.15 K
Kelvin to Celsius
°C = K - 273.15
Example: 273.15 K = 273.15 - 273.15 = 0°C
Celsius (°C)
Celsius is a temperature scale where 0°C is the freezing point of water and 100°C is the boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure. It's the most widely used temperature scale globally and is part of the metric system.
- Freezing point of water: 0°C
- Boiling point of water: 100°C
- Absolute zero: -273.15°C
- Room temperature: ~20°C
Kelvin (K)
Kelvin is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). It's an absolute temperature scale starting at absolute zero, where all molecular motion stops. Used extensively in scientific and engineering applications.
- Absolute zero: 0 K
- Freezing point of water: 273.15 K
- Boiling point of water: 373.15 K
- Room temperature: ~293 K
