Wait, I always thought it was T(K)= T(C) - the 2 hundred something point 15

Yes, 273.15. But no, T(K) = T(C) + 273.15.

Yes, there are many. There’s the calorie, there’s the BTU, there’s the watt, and there are others you could derive from other existing units as well

The Kelvin value is always larger than the Celsius equivalent, so T(K) = T(C) + 273.15

K - 273.15 = C

Where K is degrees Kelvin and C is degrees Celsius.
