Formula to Convert Celsius to Kelvin
To convert Celsius to Kelvin, use the following equation:
K = C + 273.15
Absolute Temperature
Absolute temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a system. It is measured in Kelvin and is represented by the symbol T. The absolute temperature of a system is determined by the temperature of the system’s reference point and the amount of thermal energy the system contains. The absolute temperature of a system can be increased by adding thermal energy to the system or by increasing the temperature of the system’s reference point.
Celsius to Kelvin Conversion Factor
The Celsius to Kelvin conversion factor is the ratio of the number of Kelvin degrees to the number of Celsius degrees. It is equal to 1.8 degrees Kelvin per degree Celsius.
Units of SI System
The SI system of units is a decimal system of measurement that is based on the meter, kilogram, and second. It is the world’s most common system of measurement.
Celsius to Kelvin Formula
K = Celsius + 273.15
Solved Example
The area of a rectangle is 640 cm2. Find the length and width of the rectangle.
The length of the rectangle is 32 cm and the width is 20 cm.
Temperature
The temperature of an object is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in the object. The higher the temperature, the faster the molecules are moving.
Celcius to Fahrenheit
- To convert a Celsius temperature to Fahrenheit, multiply the Celsius temperature by 9, divide by 5, and add 32.
- For example, if the Celsius temperature is 25 degrees, the Fahrenheit temperature would be:
- 25 degrees Celsius multiplied by 9 equals 225
- 225 divided by 5 equals 45
- 45 plus 32 equals 77 degrees Fahrenheit.
Kelvin vs Celsius
Kelvin and Celsius are both temperature scales, but they measure temperature in different ways. Kelvin measures absolute temperature, while Celsius measures temperature relative to the freezing point of water. This means that Kelvin is always positive, while Celsius can be negative.
