We also discuss the Kelvin to Celsius conversion formula to help you learn more about the Kelvin unit in this article. Want to know how much 1 Kelvin is in Celsius or 0 Celsius in Kelvin? Well, you will find out soon!

How to use the Kelvin to Celsius converter

To use the Kelvin to Celsius converter:

  1. Enter the temperature in Kelvin into the first field, for example 0 K.

  2. The Kelvin to Celsius calculator will convert and display the temperature in Celsius in the second field, i.e., -273.15 °C.

  3. You can also first enter the temperature in Celsius to get the temperature in Kelvin.

  4. Additionally, the Celsius and Kelvin calculator has a unit switch in both fields, which you can also switch to Fahrenheit if needed.

Formula for converting Kelvin to Celsius

Here’s the formula for converting Kelvin to Celsius:

  • \degree C = K - 273.15

Where:

  • \degree C - the temperature unit in Celsius; and also
  • K - the absolute temperature unit in Kelvin.

The Celsius to Kelvin conversion formula is the opposite:

  • K = \degree C + 273.15

Here are some examples using the Celsius to Kelvin conversion equation:

  1. Convert 1 Kelvin to Celsius.

    Substituting the values into the formula gives:

    °C = 1 - 273.15

    Thus, if we convert 1 K to Celsius, we get - 272.15 °C.

  2. Now, convert 100 Celsius to Kelvin.

    Transforming the formula, we get:

  • K = °C + 273.15

    Substituting the values:

  • K = 100 + 273.15

    Thus, if we convert 100 °C to Kelvin, we get 373.15 K.

Of course, using our tool is a more convenient way to quickly use the Celsius to Kelvin equation!

FAQ

Why is the Kelvin scale not measured in degrees?

Degrees are a relative term, whereas Kelvin is an absolute temperature scale with specific endpoints. It has 0 as the lowest possible temperature, i.e., when the movement of atoms and molecules of every element stops.

How to convert 100 Celsius to Kelvin?

A temperature of 100 °C equals 373.15 K. You can convert Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.15 K to the Celsius temperature:

  • 373.15 K = 100 °C + 273.15

What is 0 Celsius in Kelvin?

A temperature of 0 Celsius is 273.15 Kelvin.

We can find this by adding 273.15 to the Celsius temperature, for example, 100 Celsius equals 373.15 Kelvin, so:

  • K = °C + 273.15

Where:

  • K - the absolute temperature in Kelvin; and also
  • °C - temperature in Celsius.
