Kelvin

Kelvin is a unit of temperature measurement in the International System of Units (SI). It is the base unit of temperature in the SI, and is used in many scientific and engineering applications.

Converting Celsius to Kelvin

To convert a temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, you can use the following formula:

T_K = T_C + 273.15

Where T_K is the temperature in Kelvin and T_C is the temperature in Celsius.

Absolute Zero

Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature, where the thermal motion of particles ceases. It is defined as 0 Kelvin, or -273.15 degrees Celsius.
