Kelvin to Celsius Conversion
How to convert Kelvin to Celsius
The relationship between temperature in Kelvin (TK) and temperature in Celsius (ToC) is given below:
TK = ToC + 273.15
Alternatively, it can also be written as:
TK - 273.15 = ToC
TK - ToC = 273.15
Example
To convert 300 Kelvin into Celsius, 273.15 is subtracted from it:
(300 K) - 273.15 = 26.85 oC
Kelvin
The Kelvin is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI), having the unit symbol K. It uses absolute zero as its null point. On the Kelvin scale, pure water freezes at 273.15 K, and it boils at 373.15 K.
Celsius
The degree Celsius is a unit of temperature on the Celsius scale. The degree Celsius (symbol: oC) refers to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale or a unit to indicate a difference between two temperatures. Since 1743 the Celsius scale has been based on 0 oC for the freezing point of water and 100 oC for the boiling point of water at 1 atm pressure.
