Conversion Formula
The formula to convert c to kelvin is simple, you just need to add 273.15 to any celsius value. This works because the kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, which is -273.15 c. So every increase in c is matched exactly in kelvin, but kelvin starts counting from a different point.
Here’s the formula:
K = C + 273.15
Let’s see the steps for 11 c:
- Start with your celsius value: 11
- Add 273.15 to it: 11 + 273.15
- Do the math: 11 + 273.15 = 284.15
- So, 11 c = 284.15 kelvin
Conversion Example
- Convert -10 c to kelvin:
- Start with -10
- Add 273.15: -10 + 273.15 = 263.15
- -10 c is 263.15 kelvin
- Convert 0 c to kelvin:
- Start with 0
- Add 273.15: 0 + 273.15 = 273.15
- 0 c is 273.15 kelvin
- Convert 25 c to kelvin:
- Start with 25
- Add 273.15: 25 + 273.15 = 298.15
- 25 c is 298.15 kelvin
- Convert 100 c to kelvin:
- Start with 100
- Add 273.15: 100 + 273.15 = 373.15
- 100 c is 373.15 kelvin

Conversion Definitions
c: c is short for celsius, a scale for measuring temperature where water freezes at 0 and boils at 100. It’s used in weather, science, and cooking. The scale is based on the properties of water, and it’s part of the metric system. Celsius can go above or below zero easily.
kelvin: kelvin is a temperature unit used in scientific contexts, starting at absolute zero, the coldest possible temperature where motion stops. There’s no negative kelvin. Each kelvin step is the same as one celsius degree, but the scale begins at 0 K, which is -273.15 c.
Conversion FAQs
Why can’t kelvin values ever be negative?
Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, which is the point where all molecular motion stops, so there’s no temperature lower than 0 K. Unlike celsius or fahrenheit, kelvin doesn’t go negative, making it different in scientific calculations, sometimes people forget this detail.
Can I convert kelvin back to c easily?
Yes, just subtract 273.15 from the kelvin value. For example, if you have 300 K, you do 300 – 273.15 = 26.85 c. Mistakes can happen if you accidentally add instead of subtract, so always check what you’re doing.
What happens if I forget to add 273.15?
If you don’t add 273.15, your kelvin result will be way off. For instance, if you just write 11 K instead of 284.15 K, it’s extremely cold, not the same as 11 c. This type of mistake can cause errors in lab reports or calculations.
Are c and kelvin used together in science?
In labs, temperatures sometimes are given in c or kelvin. Scientists use kelvin for formulas in physics and chemistry, because it avoids negative numbers; but in daily life, c is more common. Both scales are needed, and switching between them is frequent.
