At zero kelvin (minus 273 degrees Celsius) the particles stop moving and all disorder disappears. Thus, nothing can be colder than absolute zero on the Kelvin scale. At zero kelvin (minus 273 degrees Celsius) the particles stop moving and all disorder disappears.

The Kelvin scale fulfills Thomson’s requirements as an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale. It uses absolute zero as its null point (i.e. low entropy). The relation between kelvin and celsius scales is TK = t°C + 273.15. On the Kelvin scale, pure water freezes at 273.15 K, and it boils at 373.15 K.

The correct one is just K, not degrees K. The units used here are thus called degrees Celsius. However, Kelvin, the SI unit of temperature, is based on the triple point of water (The temperature where water can exist in all 3 states). 1 K = 1/273.16 of the triple point of water.

Kelvin To Celsius Formula

1. Celsius = (Kelvin – 273.15)
2. Kelvin = (Celsius + 273.15)
3. The formula of Kelvin to Celsius is used to change the temperature given in Kelvin to Celsius.
4. Solved Example.
5. Problem 1: Convert the following temperature from Kelvin into Celsius. (a) 50 K.
6. Answer:

If you find yourself needing to quickly convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, here is a simple trick you can use: multiply the temperature in degrees Celsius by 2, and then add 30 to get the (estimated) temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

Because of the widespread adoption of the metric system, most countries worldwide – including non-metric Liberia and Burma – use Celsius as their official temperature scale. Only a few countries use Fahrenheit as their official scale: the United States, Belize, Palau, the Bahamas and the Cayman Islands.
