Celsius and Kelvin Temperature Scales

Front

What is the Celsius temperature scale?

Back

The Celsius scale is a temperature scale where 0 degrees Celsius is the freezing point of water and 100 degrees Celsius is the boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure.

Front

What is the Kelvin temperature scale?

Back

The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale where 0 K (zero Kelvin) is absolute zero, the point at which all molecular motion stops. The size of one Kelvin is equivalent to one degree Celsius.

How do you convert Celsius to Kelvin?

Back

To convert Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature. Formula: K = °C + 273.15.

Front

How do you convert Kelvin to Celsius?

Back

To convert Kelvin to Celsius, subtract 273.15 from the Kelvin temperature. Formula: °C = K - 273.15.
