Converting from Celsius (°C) to Kelvin (K) | Temperature

What is Celsius (°C)

Celsius (°C) is a unit used to measure temperature in the metric system. It is based on the boiling point of water at 100°C and the freezing point of water at 0°C. Celsius is widely used in weather forecasts, scientific research, and everyday temperature measurements.

What is Kelvin (K)

Kelvin (K) is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). It is based on absolute zero, the coldest possible temperature where molecular motion ceases. Kelvin is commonly used in scientific and engineering applications, especially in fields like physics and chemistry.
