Degrees Celsius (°C) Formula Kelvin (K)
0 °C 0 + 273.15 273.15 K
10 °C 10 + 273.15 283.15 K
20 °C 20 + 273.15 293.15 K
30 °C 30 + 273.15 303.15 K
40 °C 40 + 273.15 313.15 K

How to Convert °C to K

  1. Identify the Temperature in Celsius: For example, 25 °C.
  2. Apply the Conversion Formula:
    • Simply add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature.
    • For 25 °C:
      • Calculation: 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K

Practical Uses
