*This converter uses standard temperature conversion formulas. For scientific calculations, always verify with authoritative sources.
Temperature scales measure thermal energy:
• Celsius (°C): Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C
• Fahrenheit (°F): Water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F
• Kelvin (K): Absolute zero is 0K, water freezes at 273.15K
Our Temperature Converter offers:
• Instant Results: Get conversions in milliseconds
• Three Scales: Convert between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin
• No Ads: Clean, distraction-free interface
• Mobile-Friendly: Works perfectly on all devices
• Educational: Shows conversion formulas used
Frequently used temperature conversions:
• 0°C = 32°F (Freezing point of water)
• 100°C = 212°F (Boiling point of water)
• 37°C = 98.6°F (Normal human body temperature)
• -40°C = -40°F (Where scales intersect)
• 0K = -273.15°C (Absolute zero)
Standard temperature conversion formulas:
• Celsius to Fahrenheit: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
• Fahrenheit to Celsius: °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
• Celsius to Kelvin: K = °C + 273.15
• Kelvin to Celsius: °C = K - 273.15
• Fahrenheit to Kelvin: K = (°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15
• Kelvin to Fahrenheit: °F = (K - 273.15) × 9/5 + 32
When to use different temperature scales:
• Cooking: Recipes often use Fahrenheit or Celsius
• Weather: Fahrenheit in US, Celsius elsewhere
• Science: Kelvin for thermodynamics
• Medicine: Celsius for body temperature
• Industry: Depends on regional standards
