Celsius to Kelvin Converter
Understanding Celsius to Kelvin Conversion
What is Celsius to Kelvin?
Celsius to Kelvin is the conversion of temperature units from Celsius (°C) to Kelvin (K). To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15.
Conversion Formula
Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15
Example Calculation
To convert 25 degrees Celsius to Kelvin:
25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K
Common Conversions
- -273.15 °C = 0 K (Absolute zero)
- 0 °C = 273.15 K (Freezing point of water)
- 20 °C = 293.15 K (Room temperature)
- 100 °C = 373.15 K (Boiling point of water)
About Units
Celsius (°C): 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 is used in most countries around the world.
Kelvin (K): The base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale where 0 K is absolute zero, the theoretical point at which all thermal motion ceases. Unlike Celsius and Fahrenheit, Kelvin does not use the degree symbol.
