700 degrees Celsius is equal to 973.15 kelvin.
The conversion from Celsius to kelvin involves adding 273.15 to the Celsius temperature. Since kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, it shifts the zero point of Celsius by 273.15 units, making temperatures compatible for scientific calculations that require absolute temperature values.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert Celsius (°C) to kelvin (K) is:
K = °C + 273.15
This works because the kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale starting at absolute zero, which is -273.15 °C. So, by adding 273.15, you shift the Celsius temperature to the kelvin scale.
Example with 700 °C:
- Start with 700 °C
- Add 273.15: 700 + 273.15 = 973.15 K
- Therefore, 700 °C equals 973.15 kelvin.
Conversion Example
- Convert 25 °C to kelvin:
- Begin with 25 °C
- Add 273.15: 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K
- Result is 298.15 kelvin.
- Convert -40 °C to kelvin:
- Start with -40 °C
- Add 273.15: -40 + 273.15 = 233.15 K
- Final temperature is 233.15 kelvin.
- Convert 100 °C to kelvin:
- Take 100 °C
- Add 273.15: 100 + 273.15 = 373.15 K
- The kelvin equivalent is 373.15.
- Convert 0 °C to kelvin:
- Zero degrees Celsius
- Add 273.15: 0 + 273.15 = 273.15 K
- Kelvin temperature is 273.15.

Conversion Definitions
Celsius: Celsius is a temperature scale where zero represents the freezing point of water and 100 degrees is the boiling point at sea level pressure. It is used worldwide for everyday temperature measurements and scientific purposes, based on the metric system.
Kelvin: Kelvin is an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale starting at absolute zero, where all molecular motion stops. It is mainly used in science and engineering. One kelvin unit is equal in size to one degree Celsius, but kelvin starts at zero absolute.
Conversion FAQs
Why we add 273.15 to Celsius to get kelvin?
Because the kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, which is -273.15 °C, adding that number shifts the Celsius temperature to the absolute scale. It moves the zero point from freezing water to absolute zero, allowing temperature measurement without negative values.
Can kelvin temperature be negative like Celsius?
No, kelvin temperatures never go below zero. Absolute zero (0 K) is the lowest possible temperature where particles have minimal motion. Negative kelvin values aren’t physically meaningful, unlike Celsius that goes below zero.
Is kelvin used for everyday temperature measurements?
Kelvin is mostly used in scientific fields where absolute temperature matters, like physics and chemistry. Everyday weather or cooking use Celsius or Fahrenheit, because kelvin numbers are large and less intuitive for daily living.
How accurate is the conversion formula?
The formula K = °C + 273.15 is exact by definition of the scales. The only limit is the precision of the decimal places used, but the constant 273.15 is fixed by international agreement.
Does changing pressure affect Celsius to kelvin conversion?
No, the conversion between Celsius and kelvin is independent of pressure because it only shifts the temperature scale zero points. However, physical properties of substances at given temperatures can change with pressure, but the scale conversion doesn’t.
