How the temperature conversion works
The Temperature Converter changes a temperature from one measurement scale into another using standard temperature conversion formulas.
Common temperature scales
Celsius is commonly used in everyday weather and temperature measurements. Fahrenheit is widely used in the United States, while Kelvin is commonly used in scientific applications.
Conversion formulas
Celsius = (Fahrenheit − 32) × 5/9
Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15
Celsius = Kelvin − 273.15
Conversion examples
For example, 0°C equals 32°F and 273.15 K. Similarly, 100°C equals 212°F and 373.15 K.
Where can a temperature converter be useful?
Temperature conversions are useful for weather information, cooking, travel, science, engineering, education and everyday calculations where different temperature scales are used.
