Converter
How It Works

The Kelvin to Celsius Converter instantly converts temperature measurements from Kelvin to Celsius. This tool is essential for scientific calculations, physics experiments, chemistry, and any application requiring absolute temperature measurements. Simply enter the temperature in Kelvin, and the calculator provides the equivalent in Celsius. Kelvin is an absolute temperature scale where 0K represents absolute zero, while Celsius uses the freezing point of water as 0°C.

Conversion Formula
°C = K - 273.15

Subtract 273.15 from the Kelvin temperature to get Celsius. This conversion accounts for the different zero points: 0K is absolute zero (-273.15°C), while 0°C is the freezing point of water (273.15K).

Example Conversions
Input:273.15 K
Output:0°C

273.15 - 273.15 = 0°C (freezing point)

Input:373.15 K
Output:100°C

373.15 - 273.15 = 100°C (boiling point)

Input:298.15 K
Output:25°C

298.15 - 273.15 = 25°C (room temperature)
