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.
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.
Celsius to Kelvin Formula
Conversion explanation: Add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature.
How to Convert Celsius to Kelvin
To convert temperatures from celsius to kelvin, you can use the official formula:
Step-by-Step Example
Converting a 25 °C comfortable room temperature into Kelvin:
- Add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature:
25 + 273.15 = 298.15 - Result: 25 °C is equal to 298.15 K.
