The absolute temperature (Kelvin scale) T is related to the temperature tc on the Celsius scale by,
                tc = T – 273.15

Answer

The temperature 273.16 K is the triple point of water. It is not the melting point of ice. The temperature 0°C on Celsius scale is the melting point of ice.
Its corresponding value on Kelvin scale is 273.15 K.
Hence, absolute temperature (Kelvin scale) T, is related to temperature tc, on Celsius scale as,

tc = T – 273.15
