In temperature what is the difference between K and C? - Answers

Difference is 273.15. Here are formulas: K = C + 273.15 C = K - 273.15 Difference is 273.15. Here are formulas: [°C] = [K] − 273.15 [K] = [°C] + 273.15 "K" is the Kelvin scale which is useful in physics as it measures absolute heat. Absolute Zero is 0 degrees Kelvin which theoretically contains absolutely no heat and is the coldest anything can be. The freezing-to-boiling range of water is 273K to 373K. "C" is the Celsius or Centigrade scale which is most useful in chemistry involving water, as the freezing-to-boiling range of water is 0C to 100C. Absolute Zero is -273.15C. 1 "Kelvin" is also a dynamic calculation unit and as such is = to 1 "Centigrade". Thus, speaking about an "on-off" controller of temperature whose Setpoit may be set: 18 C heating element on, 20 C it is off, we say the differential (or delta, or hysteresis) is negative and equals 2 K.
