  3. You may copy the resulting Kelvin value using the Copy button.
  4. To view a detailed step by step calculation of the conversion, click on the View Calculation button.
  5. You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.

What is the Formula to convert Celsius to Kelvin?

The formula to convert given temperature from Celsius to Kelvin is:

Temperature(Kelvin) = Temperature(Celsius) + 273.15

Substitute the given value of temperature in celsius, i.e., Temperature(Celsius) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the temperature in kelvin, i.e., Temperature(Kelvin).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that the temperature of a smartphone while running a heavy application reaches 45 degrees Celsius.
Convert this temperature from Celsius to Kelvin.

Answer:

Given:

The temperature in celsius is:

Temperature(Celsius) = 45

Formula:

The formula to convert temperature from celsius to kelvin is:

Temperature(Kelvin) = Temperature(Celsius) + 273.15

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Temperature(Celsius) = 45 in the above formula.

Temperature(Kelvin) = 45 + 273.15

Temperature(Kelvin) = 318.15

Final Answer:

Therefore, 45 °C is equal to 318.15 K.

The temperature is 318.15 K, in kelvin.

2

Consider that the temperature outside during a heatwave is 38 degrees Celsius.
Convert this temperature from Celsius to Kelvin.

Answer:

Given:

The temperature in celsius is:

Temperature(Celsius) = 38

Formula:

The formula to convert temperature from celsius to kelvin is:

Temperature(Kelvin) = Temperature(Celsius) + 273.15

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Temperature(Celsius) = 38 in the above formula.

Temperature(Kelvin) = 38 + 273.15

Temperature(Kelvin) = 311.15

Final Answer:

Therefore, 38 °C is equal to 311.15 K.

The temperature is 311.15 K, in kelvin.

Celsius

Celsius is a unit of temperature measurement that is part of the metric system. It is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, who developed the scale. The Celsius scale sets the freezing point of water at 0 degrees and the boiling point at 100 degrees under standard atmospheric pressure. It is widely used in scientific and everyday contexts around the world.

Kelvin

The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale named after the Scottish physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin. It is commonly used in scientific and engineering applications where an absolute temperature reference is required. The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, the point at which all molecular motion ceases. The freezing point of water on the Kelvin scale is 273.15 K, and the boiling point is 373.15 K.
