What is a Kelvin?
The Kelvin (K) is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). Zero Kelvin (0 K) is absolute zero.
What is a Celsius?
The Degree Celsius (°C) is a unit of temperature on the Celsius scale, where 0°C is the freezing point of water and 100°C is the boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure.
How to Convert Kelvin to Celsius
Subtract 273.15 from the Kelvin value.
°C = K - 273.15Manual Calculation Steps
Step 1: Identify the Formula
The standard formula to convert from Kelvin to Celsius is:
°C = K - 273.15Step 2: Plug in the Value
Substitute the value you want to convert (for example, 5 K) into the formula.
Step 3: Calculate the Result
Perform the calculation to get the result in Celsius.
