In short
How many Celsius is 77 kelvin?
77 K = -196.15 °C. 1 kelvin = 1.000000 Celsius, then − 273.15, so the working is 77 × 1.000000 − 273.1500 = -196.15.
The working
The factor below is an exact definition rather than a measurement, so nothing is approximated in the arithmetic. The only rounding on this page happens where a number is displayed.
1 kelvin = 1.000000 Celsius, then − 273.15 77 × 1.000000 − 273.1500 = -196.15
How much precision do you need?
Each row is the same answer cut at a different number of decimals, with what that choice costs you. Pick the shortest row whose error is smaller than whatever you are measuring with.
| Rounded to | Answer (°C) | Off by |
|---|---|---|
| Whole number | -196 | +0.15000 |
| 1 decimal | -196.1 | +0.05000 |
| 2 decimals | -196.15 | −0.00000 |
Round trip: take -196.15 °C back the other way and you land on 77.0000 K — a drift of 0.0000 K. That gap is the rounding, not the conversion.

77 K
Nitrogen boils at about 77.4 kelvin at standard pressure, and this is the everyday laboratory cryogen because air is most of the way there already.
Frequently asked questions
What is 77 kelvin in Celsius?
77 kelvin is -196.15 Celsius. 1 kelvin = 1.000000 Celsius, then − 273.15, so the working is 77 × 1.000000 − 273.1500 = -196.15.
How accurate is -196.15 °C?
Rounding to -196.15 °C and converting straight back gives 77.0000 K, a drift of 0.0000 K from the 77 you started with. The factor itself is exact; every bit of that difference comes from the rounding, not the conversion.
