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

How to use Temperature Converter

  1. Enter the temperature value

    Type your temperature number. Negative values are valid (e.g. −40 for the point where Celsius and Fahrenheit are equal).

  2. Select the input scale

    Choose Celsius (°C) for most international contexts, Fahrenheit (°F) for US contexts, or Kelvin (K) for scientific work.

  3. Read the converted temperatures

    All three scale equivalents display instantly. The tool also shows whether the temperature is above or below water's freezing and boiling points for context.

Temperature Converter examples

Convert body temperature from °F to °C

Input

98.6°F (normal body temperature)

Output

37.0°C · 310.15 K

98.6°F is normal human body temperature on the Fahrenheit scale. 37°C is the exact Celsius equivalent used in the rest of the world.

Convert oven temperature for international recipe

Input

375°F (US recipe)

Output

190.6°C · 463.7 K

US recipes use Fahrenheit oven temperatures. European and international recipes use Celsius. 375°F = 190°C is a common medium-high baking temperature.

Convert absolute zero

Input

0 K

Output

−273.15°C · −459.67°F

Kelvin starts at absolute zero — the lowest theoretically possible temperature. 0 K is the absence of all thermal energy. Used in physics, chemistry, and engineering.

Who uses Temperature Converter?

Common real-world scenarios where this tool saves time.

Home cooks and bakers

Convert oven temperatures between US and international recipes

Recipes from the UK, Europe, and Australia use Celsius. US recipes use Fahrenheit. Converting oven temperatures accurately prevents over- or under-cooking.

Travellers and weather watchers

Understand weather forecasts in an unfamiliar scale

A 30°C day in Europe is 86°F — hot summer weather. A 20°F night in the US is −6.7°C — well below freezing. Temperature conversion prevents packing the wrong clothes.

Scientists and engineers

Convert to Kelvin for thermodynamic calculations

Physics and chemistry equations (gas laws, thermodynamics, blackbody radiation) require absolute temperature in Kelvin. Convert from Celsius or Fahrenheit readings to K for calculations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?

Formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. Or equivalently: °F = (°C × 1.8) + 32. Examples: 0°C = 32°F (freezing), 100°C = 212°F (boiling), 37°C = 98.6°F (body temp), 20°C = 68°F (room temp).

How do I convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?

Formula: °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. Or equivalently: °C = (°F − 32) ÷ 1.8. Examples: 32°F = 0°C, 212°F = 100°C, 98.6°F = 37°C, 72°F = 22.2°C.

What is the formula for Celsius to Kelvin?

K = °C + 273.15. The Kelvin scale uses the same degree size as Celsius but starts at absolute zero (−273.15°C). 0°C = 273.15 K, 100°C = 373.15 K, room temperature (20°C) = 293.15 K.

At what temperature are Celsius and Fahrenheit equal?

−40° is the only point where Celsius and Fahrenheit have the same numerical value: −40°C = −40°F. This can be verified: (−40 × 1.8) + 32 = −72 + 32 = −40°F.

What is normal room temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit?

Standard room temperature is typically defined as 20–22°C (68–72°F) in residential settings, and exactly 20°C (68°F) or 25°C (77°F) in scientific contexts. ASHRAE recommends 18–24°C for occupied spaces.
