Frequently Asked Questions
What is the formula?
The formula is °C = K − 273.15. Subtract 273.15 from the Kelvin value to get Celsius.
What is absolute zero?
Absolute zero (0 K, or -273.15°C) is the theoretical point where all molecular motion stops — the coldest possible temperature.
Why is Kelvin used for color temperature?
Color temperature describes how warm or cool a light looks: 2700–3000 K is warm/yellowish, 5000–6500 K is cool/bluish.
Are Kelvin and Celsius degree sizes the same?
Yes, exactly. A 1-degree change is identical in both scales; only their zero points differ.
