Temperature Scale Information

Base unit: Celsius

Available units: 3 temperature scales

Celsius (°C)

Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C at sea level. Widely used worldwide.

Fahrenheit (°F)

Water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F. Commonly used in the United States.

Kelvin (K)

Absolute temperature scale where 0K is absolute zero. Used in scientific work.

Key Temperature Points:

  • Absolute Zero: -273.15°C = -459.67°F = 0K
  • Water Freezing Point: 0°C = 32°F = 273.15K
  • Human Body Temperature: ~37°C = ~98.6°F = ~310.15K
  • Water Boiling Point: 100°C = 212°F = 373.15K

Frequently Asked Questions About Temperature Conversion

What temperature units can I convert with this tool?

You can convert between the three main temperature scales: Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), and Kelvin (K). These cover everyday use (Celsius and Fahrenheit) and scientific applications (Kelvin).

How accurate are the temperature conversions?

Conversions use precise scientific formulas with up to 6 decimal places of accuracy. For example, Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion uses the exact formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. The tool is suitable for cooking, weather, scientific work, and educational purposes.

What's the difference between Celsius and Fahrenheit?

Celsius is based on water's freezing (0°C) and boiling (100°C) points at sea level, while Fahrenheit uses a scale where water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F. Celsius is used worldwide, while Fahrenheit is primarily used in the United States.

What is Kelvin and when should I use it?

Kelvin is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). It's an absolute scale where 0K is absolute zero (the coldest possible temperature). Kelvin is used in scientific research, physics, chemistry, and astronomy.

How do I convert negative temperatures?

The converter handles negative temperatures correctly. For example, -10°C converts to 14°F and 263.15K. The formulas work for all temperature ranges, including sub-zero values.

What are some common temperature conversions I might need?

Common conversions include:
• Room temperature: 20°C = 68°F
• Human body temperature: 37°C = 98.6°F
• Cooking: 180°C = 356°F (common baking temperature)
• Freezing point: 0°C = 32°F
• Boiling point: 100°C = 212°F
