Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply the Celsius temperature by 9/5 (or 1.8) and add 32. The formula is: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. For example, 20°C = (20 × 9/5) + 32 = 68°F. Our temperature converter does this calculation instantly for you.

How do I convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature and multiply by 5/9. The formula is: °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9. For example, 68°F = (68 - 32) × 5/9 = 20°C. Use our converter for quick and accurate conversions.

What is the freezing point of water in different temperature scales?

The freezing point of water is 0°C (Celsius), 32°F (Fahrenheit), 273.15 K (Kelvin), and 491.67°R (Rankine). Our temperature converter includes this as a preset for quick reference and conversion.

What is the boiling point of water in different temperature scales?

The boiling point of water at sea level is 100°C (Celsius), 212°F (Fahrenheit), 373.15 K (Kelvin), and 671.67°R (Rankine). This is available as a preset in our converter for easy access.

What is the Kelvin temperature scale?

Kelvin is an absolute temperature scale used in scientific applications. It starts at absolute zero (the coldest possible temperature) and uses the same degree size as Celsius. To convert Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15. Unlike Celsius and Fahrenheit, Kelvin values are not expressed with the degree symbol (°).

What is the Rankine temperature scale?

Rankine is an absolute temperature scale similar to Kelvin but based on Fahrenheit degrees. It's primarily used in engineering applications. To convert Fahrenheit to Rankine, add 459.67. Absolute zero is 0°R, which equals -459.67°F.

What is normal human body temperature?

Normal human body temperature is approximately 37°C (98.6°F), 310.15 K, or 558.27°R. Our temperature converter includes this as a preset for quick reference and conversion to any temperature scale.

What is absolute zero in different temperature scales?

Absolute zero, the coldest possible temperature, is -273.15°C, -459.67°F, 0 K, and 0°R. This is the point where all molecular motion theoretically stops. Our converter includes this as a preset for scientific calculations.
