Because degree Kelivin (K) = degree Celsius (C) + 273

So, K1 = C1 + 273

K2 = C2 + 273

K1 - K2 = C1 - C2; same difference

What one degree change in temperature on the Celsius temperature scale is equal to a one unit temperature change on the what temperature scale?

No, the "degrees" have the same name but are different sizes. (Celsius degrees are larger intervals than Fahrenheit degrees.) A change of 1 degree Celsius is the same as a change of 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit.


What temperature has same numerical value in kelvin and Celsius?

The temperature that has the same numerical value in Kelvin and Celsius is -273.15 degrees. At this temperature, known as absolute zero, there is no molecular movement, and it is the lowest possible temperature.


Who where Kelvin and Celsius temperature scales are named after?

The Kelvin temperature scale is named after the Belfast-born physicist William Thomson,1st Boron Kelvin. The Celsius scale of temperature is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius. He had developed a similar temperature scale though not the same one.


Which is larger a Celsius degree or a Kelvin?

Hi when dealing with the kelvin scale the numbers will be larger than in celsius because when you are converting from celsius to kelvin you need to add 273.15 on to the temperature in celsius. This is because zero celsius is 273.15 kelvin.


One degree celsius is equal to how many degrees kelvin?

On the Celsius and Kelvin scales, the degrees are the same size, but the Kelvin scale has its zero point at the lowest possible temperature, absolute zero. For Celsius, the zero point is the freezing point of water.So temperatures expressed on the Kelvin scale are 273.15 degrees (kelvins) higher in number than the same temperature expressed in Celsius.And a temperature of 1°C would be the same as a temperature of 274.15 K (you do not use degree marks with Kelvin).

One kelvin degree represents the same difference in what?

One Kelvin degree represents the same difference in temperature as one Celsius degree.


What is kelvin's exact value?

The Kelvin is the international unit of temperature. Zero kelvin is the lowest possible temperature (approximately minus 273 degrees Celsius), and a difference of 1 Kelvin is the same as a difference of 1 degree Celsius. Thus, for example, 273 Kelvin = 0 degrees Celsius, while 373 Kelvin = 100 degrees Celsius.


How does a temperature change of one kelvin compare to a change of 1 Celsius?

They are the same; the kelvin scale is designed so the difference between degrees is the same as the celsius scale.


Celsius to kelvin converted?

One degree Celsius indicates the same temperature changes as?

One degree Celsius indicates the same temperature change as one kelvin.


At what temperature do the Celsius and Kelvin scales have the same numerical value?

At any point in the Celsius scale, the difference between degrees Celsius and degrees Kelvin is 273.15. At no point do the two scales cross.


What scale is the same as the celsius scale?

Kelvin. Both Celsius and Kelvin are measurements of temperature in the metric system, and both have the same size of degree. The only difference between them is that Kelvin has been shifted down the scale so that 0 degrees Kelvin is absolute zero, the coldest possible temperature.


Was the metric system updated and revised and called Kelvin?

No, the Kelvin is the metric unit of temperature. Zero Kelvin is absolute zero, -273.15°C. A difference of one Kelvin is the same as a difference of one Celsius degree.


What do you mean by 1 degree celsius of rise in temperature equal to 1 kelvin of rise in temperature of a substance?

1 kelvin and 1 celsius degree are both exactly the same thing ... a unit of temperature, equal to 1/100 of the difference between the freezing and boiling points of water. The only difference between the Kelvin scale and the Celsius scale is that they start from different temperatures ... the Celsius number starts from the freezing point of water, whereas the Kelvin scale starts from 'absolute zero'. So the Kelvin temperature will always be 273.15 more than the Celsius temperature ... because it starts at 273.15 lower. But when the temperature changes by some number of Celsius degrees, it changes by exactly the same number of Kelvins, because 1 Kelvin is exactly the same size as 1 Celsius degree.


What one degree change in temperature on the Celsius temperature scale is equal to a one unit temperature change on the what temperature scale?

No, the "degrees" have the same name but are different sizes. (Celsius degrees are larger intervals than Fahrenheit degrees.) A change of 1 degree Celsius is the same as a change of 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit.


What do the Celsius and Kelvin temperature scales have in common?

Both are used to measure temperature. A difference of 1 degree is the same in both scales. The only difference is the starting point. The lowest possible temperature (absolute zero) is 0 Kelvin; this is equivalent to 273.15 degrees Celsius. Thus, on the Kelvin scale there are no negative temperatures, by definition.


What is the temperature of 32 degrees in kelvin?

To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15. To convert from Kelvin to Celsius, subtract the same number.
