Unit Information
Kelvin (K)
The Kelvin is the SI base unit of temperature, with 0K being absolute zero.
273.15K = 0°C373.15K = 100°CT(°C) = T(K) - 273.15
Celsius (°C)
The Celsius scale is the SI unit of temperature, with water freezing at 0°C and boiling at 100°C.
0°C = 273.15K100°C = 373.15KT(K) = T(°C) + 273.15
