One degree Celsius equals one degree Kelvin, so the only issue is where the scales are indexed, or, if you prefer, where zero is. For Kelvin, it's at absolute zero. (That way all temperatures in K are positive.) For Celsius, it's at the freezing point of water.

Celsius:

Zero ºCelsius is 273.15 Kelvin

Kelvin:

Absolute Zero is -273.15 ºCelsius

another way to know is that its converted by adding 273 to degrees Celsius.
Use this equation to convert Celsius/Centigrade to degrees Kelvin: [K] = [°C] + 273.15

To convert degrees Celsius to kelvins, simply add 273.15 to the temperature in degrees Celsius. For example, 25 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 298.15 kelvins (25 + 273.15). This conversion is used to shift the temperature scale by an offset to align with the absolute zero point.

add 273 degrees to go from celsius to kelvins. Precisely, the number added is 273.15 but most often we round off to 273. This always gives a positive number as -273 celsius is absolute 0 on the kelvin scale.

x Kelvin = (x + 273.16) deg C

x Kelvin = (x + 273.16) deg C

x Kelvin = (x + 273.16) deg C

x Kelvin = (x + 273.16) deg C
