Question

How do you convert a temperature from Celsius to kelvin?

A. Add 273 degrees
B. Subtract 273 from the degrees Celsius
C. Multiply 273 by the degrees Celsius
D. Divide the degrees Celsius by 273

Answer 1

A. Add 273 to the degrees Celsius.

B. Subtract 273 from the degrees Celsius.

C. Multiply 273 by the degrees Celsius.

D. Divide the degrees Celsius by 273.

Answer 2

The temperature T in Kelvin (K) is equal to the temperature T in degrees Celsius (°C) plus 273.15:

T(K) = T(°C) + 273.15

Example

Convert 10 degrees Celsius to Kelvin:

T(K) = 10°C + 273.15 = 283.15 K
