    celsius
In summary, the conversation discusses the conversion between Celsius and Kelvin scales, with the formula C=K-273 being provided as a way to convert between the two. The only difference between the two scales is the zero point, with Celsius being based on the freezing point of water and Kelvin being based on absolute zero. It is noted that a 1 degree change in Celsius is equal to a 1 degree change in Kelvin. The conversation also mentions the average human body temperature, which is 37 degrees Celsius or 310 Kelvin.

Help on celsius napster!

I was wondering how do degress on the celsius scale compare to those on the Kelvin Scale?


Thanx.:smile:

Answer

You can convert from any type of temp. to other with this equation ...

C/100 = (F-32)/180 = (K-273)/100

C is the celsius, K is the Absolute, F is the Feh. Temp.

C/100 = (F-32)/180 = (K-273)/100

Multiply the first and last expressions by 100 to get:

C=K-273

The only difference between C and K is the zero point.

Know That ...

I know, but i wanted to give the general way
 
  • #5
Thanx

Oh, can you guys also state the comparisson in a sentence not just the formula.
 
  • #6
Read my last post again, specifically the last sentence.
 
  • #7
thanx

Are you sure? Then is there a specific point for say writing 1c=1k if k is same thing as C anyways.

And one other thing just to make sure. What's the definition of the term "absolute zero?".

wait

oh 1 thing, wats the zero point for the Kelvin and celsius scale?

When I say that Kelvin and Celiuse are identical except for the zero point I mean a 1 degree C CHANGE = 1 degree K CHANGE

The zero point of Celuis is the freezing point of water. The Zero point of Kelvin is Absolute Zero.

Absolute Zero is theoretical point at which all atomic motion ceases.

ohh

So to convert C into K you simply add 273.

Say the melting point of water is 0c so to covert it to K you add 273 ,so it will be 273K right?


BTW what's the avg. human body temp.? 30c?

heh

Humans Body Temperature Is 37 C, Or 310 K,

LOL ! Cool Question, I'm wondering how old are you :P
 

1. What is Celsius Napster?

Celsius Napster is a software program that allows users to convert temperature measurements from Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice versa.

2. How do I use Celsius Napster?

To use Celsius Napster, simply enter the temperature measurement in the designated input box and select whether it is in Fahrenheit or Celsius. The converted temperature will then be displayed in the output box.

3. Is Celsius Napster accurate?

Yes, Celsius Napster is accurate as it uses the standard formula for converting temperature measurements from Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice versa.

4. Is Celsius Napster a free software?

Yes, Celsius Napster is a free software that can be easily accessed and used by anyone.

5. Can Celsius Napster convert other units of temperature measurement?

No, Celsius Napster only converts temperature measurements between Fahrenheit and Celsius. It does not support other units of temperature measurement such as Kelvin or Rankine.
