How do you convert kelvin to celsius and vice versa?

Answer 1

The conversion is #pm 273.15^@# - you subtract from #"^@C# and add to #"^@K#.

The distance between the units is the same with Kelvin and Celsius (unlike Fahrenheit and Celsius where the spaces between each degree is different).

And so the conversion is #pm 273.15^@# - you subtract from #"^@C# and add to #"^@K#.

The reason these two systems exist is that for Celsius we care about a scale of 100 degrees from water freezing to water boiling. For Kelvin, we care about the number of degrees starting from Absolute Zero.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
