How to convert kelvins to degrees Celsius
Temperature scales start at different zero points, so you can't just multiply. Use this formula:
°C = K − 273.15
Example
Let's convert 300 kelvins to degrees Celsius:
300 K = 26.85 °C
Going the other way
1 degree Celsius = 274.15 kelvins. Use our degrees Celsius to kelvins converter.
