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.

Scientific Constants

-273.15°C=0 K
0°C=273.15 K
25°C=298.15 K
100°C=373.15 K
1000°C=1273.15 K
5500°C=5773 K

Celsius (°C)

Practical scale for everyday use. 0°C = water freezing point, 100°C = boiling point at sea level. Same degree interval as Kelvin.

Kelvin (K)

SI unit for thermodynamic temperature. Starts at absolute zero (−273.15°C). Used in physics, chemistry, and astronomy.

Simple formula: Add 273.15 to Celsius
Freezing point: 0°C = 273.15 K
Kelvin has no degree symbol - write K, not °K
