Definitions of Celsius and Kelvin
What is Celsius?
Celsius is a temperature scale where water freezes at zero degrees and boils at one hundred degrees under standard pressure. It is the primary metric temperature unit worldwide. For related unit metrics, you can use our fahrenheit to celsius conversion tool.
What is Kelvin?
Kelvin is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). It is an absolute scale starting at absolute zero, where thermal motion ceases. If you need to make other calculations, see our kelvin to celsius conversion tool.
How to Convert Celsius to Kelvin
