How is 1°C equal to 1 K?
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
While 1°C is not equal to 1 K as absolute temperatures, a change of 1°C equals a change of 1 K. This is because both scales use identical unit intervals the difference between degrees is the same size. For instance, the difference between 20°C and 21°C is the same magnitude as the difference between 293.15 K and 294.15 K. However, as absolute values, 1°C equals 274.15 K.
