What is the formula to convert from Kelvin to Celsius?

The formula to convert temperature value from the unit of Kelvin to the unit of Celsius is:

Temperature_(Celsius) = Temperature_(Kelvin) - 273.15

Kelvin unit in Temperature

The Kelvin scale, developed by the Scottish physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, is an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale used extensively in scientific and engineering disciplines. Unlike the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales, Kelvin starts at absolute zero, the theoretical temperature at which all atomic motion ceases. The Kelvin scale is fundamental in fields such as physics and astronomy, where absolute temperature measurements are crucial. One Kelvin degree is equivalent to one degree Celsius, but the Kelvin scale does not include negative numbers, simplifying calculations in thermodynamics and quantum physics.

Celsius unit in Temperature

Celsius is a temperature scale widely used across the globe, particularly in scientific research, education, and most daily temperature measurements. Named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, the scale is based on the phase changes of water under standard atmospheric conditions, with 0 degrees representing the freezing point of water and 100 degrees marking the boiling point. The Celsius scale is part of the International System of Units (SI) and is preferred in most countries, offering a straightforward metric system integration, especially for scientific purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about "Kelvin ➜ Celsius" Conversion

1. What is the conversion formula from Kelvin to Celsius?

The formula to convert Kelvin to Celsius in Temperature is:

Kelvin - 273.15

2. How do I convert from Kelvin to Celsius given a value in Kelvin units?

To convert Temperature from Kelvin to Celsius, you can use the following formula:

Kelvin - 273.15

For example, if you have a value in Kelvin, you substitute that value in place of Kelvin in the above formula, and solve the mathematical expression to get the equivalent value in Celsius.
