Converting Temperatures: Kelvin to Celsius

When working with absolute temperatures in science, you may need to convert from the Kelvin scale to Celsius. This guide explains the straightforward process to convert Kelvin temperatures to Celsius.

Overview of Kelvin and Celsius Scales

Kelvin and Celsius are two important temperature measurements used in science. Key traits include:

Kelvin

Absolute scale representing thermal energy
0 K equals -273.15°C
Water freezes at 273.15 K

Celsius

Common metric scale
Water freezes at 0°C
Water boils at 100°C

Converting between Kelvin and Celsius is common in physics, chemistry, and other sciences working with precise temperatures.

Converting Kelvin to Celsius Step-by-Step

Follow this method to convert any Kelvin temperature to Celsius:

Subtract 273.15 from the Kelvin temperature

That’s it! This gives you the equivalent Celsius value.

For example, converting 350 K to Celsius:

350 K – 273.15 = 76.85°C

So 350 Kelvin = 76.85 degrees Celsius

Handy Celsius/Kelvin Conversion Table

Refer to this table for some common Kelvin values and their Celsius equivalents:

Kelvin	Celsius
0 K	-273.15°C
273.15 K	0°C
300 K	26.85°C
350 K	76.85°C

Converting Celsius to Kelvin

To convert Celsius temperatures to Kelvin:

Add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature

For example, converting 76.85°C to Kelvin:

76.85°C + 273.15 = 350 K

So 76.85 degrees Celsius equals 350 Kelvin.

Key Takeaways for Kelvin to Celsius Conversions

Subtract 273.15 from any Kelvin temperature to get Celsius
Adding 273.15 to Celsius temperatures reaches Kelvin
Use a handy reference table for common conversion values
No degree symbols are used with Kelvin values

With this simple one-step process, converting between the Kelvin absolute and Celsius temperature scales becomes quick and straightforward.

Type a value in the Kelvin field to convert the value to Celsius:

Kelvin to Celsius formula

The temperature T in degrees Celsius (°C) is equal to the temperature T in Kelvin (K) minus 273.15:

T_(°C) = T_(K) – 273.15

℃=K-273.15

Convert 1 Kelvin to degrees Celsius:

T_(°C) = 1K – 273.15 = -272.15 °C

Convert 77 Kelvin to degrees Celsius:

T_(°C) = 77K – 273.15 = -196.14 °C

Convert 100 Kelvin to degrees Celsius:

T_(°C) = 100K – 273.15 = -173.14 °C

Convert 200 Kelvin to degrees Celsius:

T_(°C) = 200K – 273.15 = -73.14 °C
