Celsius to Kelvin Converter
About Celsius (°C) and Kelvin (K) Units
Celsius (°C) is the most commonly used temperature unit in the world for everyday weather, cooking, and science measurements. In this scale, 0°C is the freezing point of water and 100°C is the boiling point. For example, normal body temperature is around 37°C, room temperature is about 20–25°C, and winter temperatures in many countries can drop below 0°C. Celsius is widely used because it is easy to understand and directly linked to the properties of water. Kelvin (K) is the standard temperature unit used in science, physics, and engineering to measure absolute temperature. Unlike Celsius and Fahrenheit, Kelvin starts at absolute zero (0 K), which is the lowest possible temperature where all molecular motion stops. Kelvin does not use the degree symbol. For example, 0°C equals 273.15 K, and room temperature is about 298 K. It is widely used in laboratories, space science, thermodynamics, and any field that requires precise temperature measurements.
Celsius to Kelvin Conversion Formula
To convert between Celsius (°C) and Kelvin (K), use the following formulas:
1 Celsius (°C) = 274.15 Kelvin (K)
1 Kelvin (K) = -272.15 Celsius (°C)
Example Conversions: Celsius to Kelvin
Convert -40, 0, 25, 37, 97, 100 Celsius (°C) to Kelvin (K) Examples
- -40 °C = 233.14999999999998 K
- 0 °C = 273.15 K
- 25 °C = 298.15 K
- 37 °C = 310.15 K
- 97 °C = 370.15 K
- 100 °C = 373.15 K
