How to Convert Kelvin to Celsius
To convert Kelvin to Celsius, subtract 273.15 from the Kelvin value.
For example, 5 K is equal to 5 − 273.15 = -268.15 °C.
Kelvin and Celsius are both widely used temperature scales. Kelvin is commonly used in scientific contexts, while Celsius is commonly used in most countries worldwide.
Understanding Kelvin and Celsius
What is a Kelvin (K)?
The kelvin (K) is the SI base unit of temperature. 0 K (absolute zero) is the lowest possible temperature, equal to -273.15°C.
Kelvin is used in science and engineering for thermodynamic calculations and color temperature in lighting and photography.
What is a Celsius (°C)?
Celsius (°C) is a temperature scale where 0°C is the freezing point of water and 100°C is the boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure.
Celsius is used by most countries worldwide for weather, cooking, and scientific measurements.
