Kelvin → Celsius

Convert K to °C.

Kelvin to Celsius Converter

This calculator converts a temperature from Kelvin (K) to degrees Celsius (°C).

Use Cases

  • Laboratory Work: Converting experimental results to everyday units.
  • Cryogenics: Monitoring super-cooled materials.
  • Physics Education: Explaining the relationship between absolute and relative scales.

Formula

To convert Kelvin to Celsius, subtract 273.15 from the Kelvin temperature:

°C=K273.15°C = K - 273.15

Where:

  • 273.15 K is 0°C (Freezing point of water)
  • 373.15 K is 100°C (Boiling point of water)
