How to Convert celsius to kelvin
Temperature conversions use specific formulas rather than simple multiplication. The result of converting -273.15 °C is 0 K.
Reverse: 0 kelvin = -273.15 celsius
Reverse: 0 kelvin = -273.15 celsius

celsius (°C)
The Celsius scale is named after Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius. In 1742, he created a scale based on 0 for the boiling point of water and 100 for the freezing point. This was later inverted to the familiar 0-100 scale we use today by Carl Linnaeus and others. For a long time, it was known simply as 'centigrade' (meaning 100 steps) until it was officially renamed Celsius in 1948 to honor its inventor.
Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C.

kelvin (K)
The Kelvin scale is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). Proposed by Lord Kelvin in 1848, it is an 'absolute' scale, meaning it has no negative numbers. It starts at absolute zero (0 K), the theoretical point where all thermal motion stops. It uses the same degree size as Celsius, so a change of 1 K is the same as a change of 1°C. 0°C is equal to 273.15 K.
Daylight is often described as 5500 K color temperature.
