Convert Celsius to Kelvin

📜 Origins

Daniel Fahrenheit created his scale in 1724 using brine's freezing point (0°F) and human body temperature (originally 100°F, now known to be 98.6°F).

⚡ Historical Highlight

Anders Celsius originally defined his scale backwards - 100° for water's freezing point and 0° for boiling! It was reversed after his death.

🎯 Fun Facts

• •Celsius and Fahrenheit scales cross at -40° - the only temperature where they're equal!
• •Absolute zero (-273.15°C) is the coldest possible temperature - atoms stop moving entirely.
• •The hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth was 134°F (56.7°C) in Death Valley, California in 1913.

🏛️ Archaeological Discovery

Hero of Alexandria built the first thermoscope around 50 CE, which expanded air to move water - no numbered scale though!

🚀 Modern Applications

Scientists have achieved temperatures just billionths of a degree above absolute zero in laboratories, colder than anywhere in space.
