To convert a temperature from Kelvin to Celsius, you can use the following simple formula:
C = K – 273.15
In this formula, C represents the temperature in degrees Celsius, and K represents the temperature in Kelvin. The subtraction of 273.15 is necessary because 0 Kelvin is equivalent to -273.15 degrees Celsius, which is the absolute zero.
For example, if you have a temperature of 300 Kelvin and you want to convert it to Celsius, you would do the following calculation:
C = 300 – 273.15 = 26.85
This means that 300 Kelvin is equal to approximately 26.85 degrees Celsius.
This conversion is important in many scientific fields, as Kelvin is often used in physical sciences for its absolute nature, but Celsius is more common in everyday use.
