Kelvin to Celsius
Type a temperature to convert it from Kelvin to Celsius. The two scales do not share a zero, so the conversion shifts as well as scales.
Result
Kelvin and Celsius, side by side
Kelvin and Celsius measure the same thing on different scales, and they start counting from different places. That is why the conversion is not a simple multiplication: 0K comes out as -273.1°C, not zero.
Going the other way, 0°C is 273.1K. Any converter that treats this as a ratio gets both directions wrong.
