Kelvin to Celsius Converter
Convert temperature between Kelvin and Celsius scales with our free temperature converter. Get accurate conversions instantly.
Step 1: Input Temperature
Understanding Temperature Scales
The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale where 0K is absolute zero. The Celsius scale sets 0°C at the freezing point of water and 100°C at the boiling point.
Step 2: Additional Options
Temperature Conversion Formula
To convert Kelvin to Celsius: °C = K – 273.15
To convert Celsius to Kelvin: K = °C + 273.15

Temperature Conversion Formulas
Kelvin to Celsius
°C = K – 273.15
To convert from Kelvin to Celsius, subtract 273.15 from the Kelvin temperature.
Celsius to Kelvin
K = °C + 273.15
To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature.
Absolute Zero
Absolute zero (0K) is the theoretical lowest possible temperature where particles have minimal thermal motion. This equals -273.15°C.
