Conversion Formula
The formula to convert Celsius to Kelvin is straightforward: K = C + 273.15. This addition directly adjusts for the difference in starting points between the two scales, since Kelvin begins at absolute zero, which is -273.15°C. For example, converting 27°C: 27 + 273.15 = 300.15 K.
Conversion Example
- Convert 10°C:
- Start with 10°C.
- Add 273.15 to 10.
- Result is 283.15 Kelvin.
- Convert 0°C:
- Start with 0°C.
- Add 273.15.
- Result is 273.15 Kelvin.
- Convert -15°C:
- Start with -15°C.
- Add 273.15.
- Result is 258.15 Kelvin.
- Convert 50°C:
- Start with 50°C.
- Add 273.15.
- Result is 323.15 Kelvin.

Conversion Definitions
“c” (Celsius) is a temperature scale where 0°C is the freezing point of water and 100°C is its boiling point at standard pressure, used globally for everyday temperature measurement.
“kelvin” is the absolute temperature scale starting at absolute zero (0 K), where all molecular motion stops, used in scientific measurements to compare thermal energies accurately.
Conversion FAQs
Why is adding 273.15 necessary in converting Celsius to Kelvin?
Adding 273.15 adjusts the Celsius temperature to the Kelvin scale, which begins at absolute zero (-273.15°C). This shift ensures temperatures are measured from the absolute zero point, making Kelvin an absolute scale.
Can I convert Kelvin back to Celsius easily?
Yes, subtract 273.15 from the Kelvin value to return to Celsius. For example, 300.15 K minus 273.15 gives 27°C. This simple subtraction makes conversions in both directions straightforward.
Is the conversion formula the same for negative Celsius temperatures?
Yes, the same formula applies regardless of whether Celsius is positive or negative. For example, -10°C converts to 263.15 Kelvin by adding 273.15.
What happens if I input a Celsius value below absolute zero?
In theory, temperatures below -273.15°C are physically impossible because they would imply negative Kelvin temperatures, which don’t exist. The conversion tool assumes valid input above absolute zero.
