No, 1 degree Celsius is not equal to 1 Kelvin. However, the Celsius and Kelvin scales have a linear relationship, and their numerical values can be converted using a simple formula.

The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale where 0 Kelvin (K) represents absolute zero, the point at which all molecular motion ceases. The Celsius scale, on the other hand, is a relative scale that sets 0 degrees Celsius (°C) as the freezing point of water and 100 degrees Celsius as the boiling point of water at sea level.

To convert a temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, you can use the following formula:

Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15

For example, let's convert 1 degree Celsius to Kelvin:

Kelvin = 1°C + 273.15 = 274.15 K

Therefore, 1 degree Celsius is equivalent to 274.15 Kelvin, not 1 Kelvin.
