70 Celsius is equal to 343.15 kelvi.
The conversion from celsius to kelvi involves adding 273.15 to the celsius temperature value. This is because the kelvi scale starts at absolute zero, which is -273.15 degrees on the celsius scale, so converting requires shifting the zero point accordingly.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert Celsius to Kelvi is:
Kelvi (K) = Celsius (°C) + 273.15
This works because the kelvi scale starts at absolute zero (the lowest possible temperature), which corresponds to -273.15 degrees Celsius. By adding 273.15, you shift the Celsius value up to the kelvi scale which measures temperature from absolute zero upward.
Example: To convert 70°C to kelvi:
- Start with the Celsius temperature: 70°C
- Add 273.15 to it: 70 + 273.15 = 343.15
- The result is 343.15 kelvi
Conversion Example
- Convert 25°C to kelvi:
- Take 25°C
- Add 273.15: 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K
- Convert -10°C to kelvi:
- Take -10°C
- Add 273.15: -10 + 273.15 = 263.15 K
- Convert 0°C to kelvi:
- Take 0°C
- Add 273.15: 0 + 273.15 = 273.15 K
- Convert 100°C to kelvi:
- Take 100°C
- Add 273.15: 100 + 273.15 = 373.15 K

Conversion Definitions
Celsius: Celsius is a temperature scale based on water freezing at 0 degrees and boiling at 100 degrees at sea level. It’s widely used around the world for everyday temperature measurement in weather reports, cooking, and science. The scale is metric and convenient for scientific calculations.
Kelvi: Kelvi is the SI unit of temperature measurement, starting at absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature. It’s used in scientific fields where precise temperature measurement is required, and it doesn’t use degrees. One kelvi equals one degree Celsius plus 273.15.
Conversion FAQs
Why do we add 273.15 to convert Celsius to kelvi?
Because the kelvi scale begins at absolute zero, which is -273.15°C, adding 273.15 shifts the Celsius temperature to the kelvi scale so that 0 kelvi equals absolute zero. This aligns temperature measurements to an absolute thermodynamic reference point.
Can kelvi values be negative?
No, kelvi values cannot be negative. Since kelvi starts at absolute zero (0 K), which is the lowest possible temperature, all kelvi temperatures are zero or positive numbers.
Is kelvi used outside of science?
Kelvi is mostly used in scientific contexts where absolute temperature measurement matters, such as physics and chemistry. For everyday use, Celsius or Fahrenheit is more common, so kelvi is rare in daily life.
Does converting Celsius to kelvi affect temperature differences?
No, the size of one kelvi unit is the same as one degree Celsius. Temperature differences or intervals remain unchanged when converting, only the zero point shifts by 273.15.
How is kelvi related to Fahrenheit?
Kelvi and Fahrenheit are different temperature scales with different zero points and increments. To convert between them, you usually convert kelvi to Celsius first, then Celsius to Fahrenheit using specific formulas.
