kelvin to Celsius
Please provide values below to convert kelvin [K] to Celsius [°C], or change ↔.
kelvin [K]
Definition: The kelvin is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined by setting the fixed numerical value of the Boltzmann constant k to 1.380649×10^-23 J/K.
Historyandorigin: The kelvin was named after the British physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin. It was originally defined based on the triple point of water and absolute zero.
CurrentUse: It is widely used in scientific contexts, especially in thermodynamics and astronomy.
funfact: Absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature, is 0 K.
Celsius [°C]
Definition: The Celsius scale is a temperature scale where the freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius and the boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure.
Historyandorigin: It was introduced by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742. Originally, 0°C was the boiling point and 100°C was the freezing point, but it was later reversed.
CurrentUse: It is widely used in everyday contexts and scientific measurements in most countries.
funfact: The Celsius scale is also known as the centigrade scale because it is based on a 100-degree interval between the freezing and boiling points of water.

How to Convert kelvin to Celsius
1 kelvin [K] = -272.15 Celsius [°C]
1 Celsius [°C] = 274.15 kelvin [K]
we use cross multiplication method
kelvin [K] → Celsius [°C]
1 → -272.15
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*-272.15=1*x
by simplifying
x=-271.65
