Celsius
Celsius (symbol: °C) is a unit of temperature in the metric system. It is based on the temperature scale where 0°C represents the freezing point of water and 100°C represents the boiling point of water at sea level.
The Celsius scale was developed by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742. Initially, he defined the scale in reverse, with 0°C as the boiling point and 100°C as the freezing point. Later, this was inverted to the current standard.
Celsius is widely used around the world, particularly in scientific contexts and in countries that follow the metric system. It is commonly used for weather reports, medical thermometers, and various scientific measurements.
Kelvin (symbol: K) is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). Unlike Celsius and Fahrenheit, the Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale, starting from absolute zero, the point at which molecular motion stops.
The Kelvin scale was developed by William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, in the mid-19th century. It was designed to provide an absolute reference point for temperature measurements, starting from absolute zero.
Kelvin is primarily used in scientific contexts, particularly in physics and chemistry, where precise temperature measurements are required. It is also used in fields such as astronomy and engineering.
To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, you can use the following formula:
Celsius to Kelvin: ( \text{K} = \text{°C} + 273.15 )
Convert Celsius to Kelvin:
Use the formula: ( \text{K} = \text{°C} + 273.15 )
Calculation: ( 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 ) K
Example 1: If the temperature is 15°C, convert it to Kelvin using the formula (15 + 273.15 = 288.15 K).
Example 2: For a temperature of 35°C, convert to Kelvin using the formula (35 + 273.15 = 308.15 K).
To convert Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15 to the Celsius value. For example, 25°C + 273.15 = 298.15 K.
