Since Kelvin = Centigrade + 273.15, YES - it will always be higher than the equivalent centigrade temperature.
The Kelvin scale is always larger than the Celsius scale because they are related by the equation K = C + 273.15. This means that 0 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 273.15 Kelvin.
Kelvin. Kelvin (K) = oC + 273.15
Kelvin is always higher - by some 273 degrees.
The objects Kelvin temperature. The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero (-273 degrees Celsius)
An object's Kelvin temperature is always larger than its Celsius temperature because the Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, where molecular motion stops. This means that 0 Kelvin is equal to -273.15 degrees Celsius.
The idea is to start at absolute zero - the lowest possible temperature. This happens to be -273.16 on the Centigrade (Celsius) scale. The Kelvin scale has no negative temperatures; zero degrees Kelvin is the lowest possible temperature.
Temperatures on the Kelvin scale are always positive because it is based on absolute zero, the theoretical point at which particles have minimal motion. Since there is no negative temperature in terms of kinetic energy, temperatures on the Kelvin scale are always positive.
For a given temperature, Kelvin scale will show the highest value. However, a given temperature will be same on Kelvin, Celcius or Fahrenheit scale. E.g. At the freezing point of water, Kelvin will show 273.15 degrees, Celcius will show 0 degrees and Fahrenheit will be 32 degrees. That means, at freezing point of water = 00C = 273.15K = 320F
1 ºC = 1 K The two scales have the same size graduations but different starting points. -273.15 degrees Celsius = 0 K 0 ºC = 273.15 K Note: these units are always capitalized as they are named after scientists ie their surnames.
K (Kelvin)
When converting from Celsius to Kelvin you always add 273.15 and subtract the same amount when converting from Kelvin to Celsius thus: -259+273.15=14.15 The answer is 14.15 Kelvin
No, a change of one degree Celsius is equal in magnitude to a change of one Kelvin. However, the Kelvin scale begins at absolute zero (0 K), which is -273.15 degrees Celsius. This means that a temperature in Kelvins will always be higher than the equivalent temperature in Celsius degrees.
