When Difference between Kelvin and Celsius are negligible

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the interchangeability of Kelvin and Celsius temperature scales, particularly at high temperatures. It is established that at temperatures around 15 million Kelvin, such as in the core of the Sun, the difference of 273 degrees becomes negligible. Additionally, for gases at approximately 5000 Kelvin, the difference may not significantly impact calculations using the ideal gas equation. However, phase transitions must be considered, as the 273 K difference remains critical in those scenarios.

This question is more for practicality than anything else, and I realize it may be partly subjective.

At what temperatures can the 273 degree difference between Kelvin and Celsius scales be ignored? I'm thinking for examples regarding stars and very high temperatures. Surely once you get to 15 million it doesn't make much of a difference if you say the core of the Sun is 15 million K or 15 million degrees C.

I'm wondering what the lowest reasonable point is when the two units of temperature are basically interchangeable.

If you have something like a gas with a temperature of the order of 5000 Kelvin, and you want to apply the ideal gas equation of state to it, then the 273 K difference may not matter a lot. However, if there's a phase transition at some temperature, then a difference of 273 K is never insignificant.
