Frequently Asked Questions
What is the formula?
The formula is K = °C + 273.15. Simply add 273.15 to any Celsius temperature.
Why is the offset 273.15?
Absolute zero (0 K) equals -273.15°C. The offset is the gap between the Kelvin zero (absolute zero) and the Celsius zero (water freezing).
Why doesn't Kelvin use a degree symbol?
Kelvin measures absolute thermodynamic temperature, so the SI convention writes "300 K", not "300°K".
Can Kelvin be negative?
No. Kelvin is an absolute scale starting at 0 K (absolute zero). Negative Kelvin is physically impossible.
