Detailed explanation-1: -How do you convert Celsius to Kelvin formula? The conversion of Celsius to Kelvin: Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15. Instead of 273.15 the value of 273 is also used.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each division in the kelvin scale called a kelvin (K) is equal to a degree on the Celsius scale, but the difference is where zero is. In the Celsius scale 0o is the freezing point of water while in the Kelvin scale the zero point is at absolute zero. Therefore, 0oK is equal to-273.15oC, 0oC is equal to 273.15 kelvins.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because 0 °C was originally defined as the freezing point of water, instead of changing the zero point when they redefined the scale based on absolute zero and the triple point, they decided to define the triple point as 0.01 °C. We add 273.15 to °C to get kelvins because that’s the difference between 0 K and 0 °C.

Detailed explanation-4: -Therefore, the temperature is equal to. 15 ° C .

Detailed explanation-5: -The major difference is that when water freezes, a Celsius thermometer will read 0°C, and a Kelvin thermometer will read 273.15 K. The scales differ by 273.15. Thus, to convert from °C to K simply add 273; if a thermometer reads 31°C then the temperature in Kelvin is 304K.
