The conversion of 35°C to Kelvin results in 308.15 K. This is because adding 273.15 to the Celsius temperature gives the Kelvin equivalent.
Since Celsius and Kelvin scales are both based on the same incremental units, converting Celsius to Kelvin involves a simple addition of 273.15. For 35°C, the calculation is 35 + 273.15, which equals 308.15 Kelvin, representing the same temperature on Kelvin scale.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert Celsius (c) to Kelvin (K) is K = c + 273.15. This works because Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, which is -273.15°C, so adding 273.15 to any Celsius temperature shifts it to the Kelvin scale. For example, 35°C plus 273.15 equals 308.15 K.
Conversion Example
- Convert 20°C to Kelvin:
- Start with Celsius: 20°C
- Add 273.15: 20 + 273.15 = 293.15
- Result: 293.15 Kelvin
- Convert 0°C to Kelvin:
- Start with Celsius: 0°C
- Add 273.15: 0 + 273.15 = 273.15
- Result: 273.15 Kelvin
- Convert -10°C to Kelvin:
- Start with Celsius: -10°C
- Add 273.15: -10 + 273.15 = 263.15
- Result: 263.15 Kelvin

Conversion Definitions
Celsius (c): A temperature scale where 0°C is the freezing point of water and 100°C is the boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure. It is used worldwide for most everyday temperature measurements and scientific purposes.
Kelvin (K): An absolute temperature scale starting at absolute zero (-273.15°C), where 1 Kelvin equals 1 degree Celsius change. It is primarily used in scientific contexts, especially thermodynamics, for measuring thermal energy.
Conversion FAQs
Why do we add 273.15 to Celsius to get Kelvin?
This addition adjusts the Celsius scale to start at absolute zero, the point where all molecular motion stops. Since 0°C is 273.15 Kelvin below absolute zero, adding 273.15 shifts the scale accordingly, aligning Celsius temperatures with Kelvin.
Can I convert Celsius to Kelvin without a calculator?
Yes, because the conversion is simple addition of 273.15. For quick estimates, you might approximate by adding 273 or 273.2, but for precise results, use the full value 273.15.
What happens if I input a negative Celsius temperature in the converter?
Negative Celsius temperatures, like -10°C, will convert to Kelvin by adding 273.15, resulting in a Kelvin value below 273.15, such as 263.15 K for -10°C. Kelvin cannot be negative, so the scale starts at absolute zero.
Is the Kelvin scale more accurate than Celsius for scientific measurements?
Kelvin is considered more accurate in scientific measurements because it is an absolute scale based on physical constants, unlike Celsius which is relative and based on properties of water. Kelvin provides a direct measure of thermal energy.
