* Size of the degree: Both Kelvin (K) and Celsius (°C) use the same size of degree. This means that a 1°C change in temperature is equal to a 1 K change in temperature.
* Zero point: This is where they differ significantly.
* Celsius: Zero degrees Celsius (°C) is defined as the freezing point of water at standard atmospheric pressure.
* Kelvin: Zero Kelvin (K) is absolute zero, the theoretical temperature at which all molecular motion stops. This is -273.15 °C.
Therefore, the relationship between Kelvin and Celsius is:
* K = °C + 273.15
* °C = K - 273.15
In summary: Kelvin and Celsius use the same degree size, but have different starting points for their scales. Kelvin is an absolute scale, while Celsius is a relative scale.
