How do I convert degrees Celsius back to kelvins?

Use the reverse converter: 1 degree Celsius equals 274.15 K.

Is this converter accurate?

Yes. It uses the exact SI/NIST definitions of each unit and shows up to 6 significant digits.

To convert kelvins to degrees Celsius, use the formula °C = K − 273.15.

°C = K − 273.15

120 K → °C = K − 273.15 → -153.15 °C

Kelvin and Rankine start at absolute zero, so negative values are physically impossible.

Kelvin (K): The SI base unit of temperature, with zero at absolute zero. Named after Lord Kelvin and used in physics and chemistry.
Degree Celsius (°C): The temperature scale used by most countries and in science. Defined by Anders Celsius in 1742; 0 °C is water's freezing point and 100 °C its boiling point at sea level.
