This online converter allows you to easily convert between kelvin (k) and celsius (°c), providing instant results with high precision.
Kelvin (K)
Definition: Kelvin (K) is the SI base unit of temperature, where 0 K represents absolute zero—the theoretical point where molecular motion stops.
History: Developed by William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) in the 19th century to provide an absolute thermodynamic scale.
Current use: Used in scientific research, physics, and engineering to measure absolute temperature and for thermodynamic calculations.
Celsius (°C)
Definition: Celsius (°C) is a temperature scale where 0°C is the freezing point of water and 100°C is the boiling point at 1 atm pressure.
History: Invented by Anders Celsius in 1742, initially with reversed scale (0 = boiling, 100 = freezing), later corrected.
Current use: Widely used around the world for everyday temperature measurements in weather, cooking, and science.
