Answer:

The Celsius scale is currently defined by two different temperatures: absolute zero and the triple point of Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water (VSMOW; specially purified water). Based on this, the relationship between Celsius and Kelvin is as follows: TCelsius=TKelvin−273.15 T Celsius = T Kelvin − 273.15 .
