The relation between Kelvin and Celcius scale is TK = TC + 273.15

Triple Point of Neon in Kelvin TK = 24.57 K

Triple Point of Neon in Celcius TC = TK -273.15 = 24.57 -273.15 =-248.58 oC

Triple Point of carbon dioxide in Kelvin TK = 216.55 K

Triple Point of carbon dioxide in Celcius T= TK -273.15 = 216.55 - 273.15 = -56.60 oC

The relation between Celcius and Fahrenheit scale is T_{F}=\frac{9}{5}T_{C} + 32

Triple Point of Neon in Fahrenheit is

T_{F}=\frac{9}{5}\times (-248.58) + 32

TF = -415.44 oC

Triple Point of carbon dioxide in Fahrenheit is

T_{F}=\frac{9}{5}\times (-56.60) + 32

TF = -69.88 oC
