About Kelvin and Celsius scales
Kelvin is the absolute temperature scale with positive values only, with 0 K corresponding to the absolute zero temperature. The Celsius scale, on the other hand, is referenced to the freezing and boiling points of water (at standard atmospheric pressure). Here you can do conversions between degrees Celsius and the absolute Kelvin temperature.
| Celsius (°C) | Kelvin (K) |

Conversion formula
Celsius (t[C]) and Kelvin (T[K]) conversion is based on a simple addition/subtraction:
t[K] = t[C] + 273.15
Here the additive factor adjusts for the difference between zero levels of the scales.
