Convert the following temperatures to the celsius scale.
(a) 293 K
(b) 470 K.

The Celsius temperature scale (previously known as the centigrade scale). The degree Celsius ( °C) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale as well as serve as a unit increment to indicate a temperature interval(a difference between two temperatures or an uncertainty). 

The relationship between the Kelvin, Celsius and Fahrenheit scales of temperature  can be given as follows

Celsius to Fahrenheit

The formula to convert temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit is $(C \times \frac{9}{5}) + 32° = F.$.

Fahrenheit to Celsius

The formula to convert temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius is $C = \frac{5}{9} \times (F - 32)$

Formula converting Celsius to Kelvin and vice versa

K = C + 273.15

C = K - 273.15]
