Celsius to Kelvin | how to convert Celsius to Kelvin temperature conversion

Celsius (°C) 

Celsius is a widely used SI unit of temperature. It is based on the metric system and directly relates to Kelvin, where each degree Celsius corresponds to the same change in Kelvin.

• 0°C is the freezing point of water

• 100°C is the boiling point of water (at 1 atm pressure)

Most countries use Celsius in daily life, weather reporting, and science.

Kelvin (K)

Kelvin is the base SI unit of thermodynamic temperature. It is used in scientific research, physics, and engineering.

• Absolute zero (the point where particles have no motion) is 0 K, which equals −273.15°C.

• Unlike Celsius and Fahrenheit, Kelvin does not use the term degrees it is simply written as K.

Formula

• K = °C + 273.15

• °C = K − 273.15

Example: Convert 15°C to Kelvin: 15 + 273.15 = 288.15 K
