About Kelvin to Celsius Conversion
To convert Kelvin to Celsius, you need to subtract 273.15 from the Kelvin temperature. The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, which is -273.15 degrees Celsius. Therefore, subtracting 273.15 from the Kelvin temperature will give you the equivalent temperature in Celsius.
The formula for converting Kelvin to Celsius is:
Celsius = Kelvin - 273.15
For example, let's say you have a temperature of 298.15 Kelvin and you want to convert it to Celsius. Using the formula, you would subtract 273.15 from 298.15:
Celsius = 298.15 - 273.15
Celsius = 25
So, 298.15 Kelvin is equal to 25 degrees Celsius.
It's important to note that Kelvin is an absolute temperature scale where 0 Kelvin represents absolute zero, the point at which all molecular motion ceases. In contrast, Celsius is a relative temperature scale with 0 degrees Celsius representing the freezing point of water.
