Converting from Kelvin (K) to Celsius (°C) | Temperature
What is Kelvin (K)
Kelvin (K) is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI), representing the absolute temperature. It is commonly used in scientific applications where precise temperature measurements are required. Absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature, is defined as 0 Kelvin (-273.15°C).
What is Celsius (°C)
Celsius (°C) is a widely used temperature scale in everyday life and most countries around the world. It is based on the freezing point of water at 0°C and the boiling point of water at 100°C under standard atmospheric pressure.
Conversion Formulas
To convert from Kelvin to Celsius, you can use the formula:
°C=K−273.15 Conversely, to convert from Celsius to Kelvin, the formula is:
K=°C+273.15
Examples
- Converting 6 Kelvin to Celsius:
°C=6−273.15=−267.15 2. Converting 11 Celsius to Kelvin:
K=11+273.15=284.15 3. Converting 15 Kelvin to Celsius:
°C=15−273.15=−258.15 4. Converting 6 Celsius to Kelvin:
K=6+273.15=279.15
Use these examples as a reference for converting between Kelvin and Celsius temperatures. Remember, these formulas provide a simple way to convert temperatures accurately between the two units.
