Description:
Converts degrees Kelvinto degrees Celsius. Note that the Kelvin temperature scale has an absolute zero (negative Kelvin temperatures do not exist). If a temperature below 0 Kelvin (absolute 0) is passed, the funciton will return an invalid result.

Return Values:
Returns a float.

Example:

<CFSET k=100>
<CFOUTPUT>
Given k=#k#<BR>
#k# degrees Kelvin = #KelvinToCelsius(k)# degrees Celsius.
</CFOUTPUT>

Parameters:

Name Description Required
kelvin Degrees Kelvin you want converted. Yes
