Temperature Converter

Convert between different temperature scales.

Temperature Scale Converter (Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin)

Thermal Scale Physics

Convert between Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), Kelvin (K), and Rankine (°R) temperature scales with exact thermodynamic formulas.

Quick Guide & Formulas

Unlike linear distance or weight units, temperature scales differ in both their incremental unit size and their zero-point reference (freezing point of water vs absolute zero). This converter applies exact thermodynamic transformation formulas across weather forecasting, cooking, and scientific research.

How to Use This Tool

  • 1Enter the temperature value in the input box.
  • 2Select the origin scale (e.g. Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin).
  • 3Choose the target thermal scale to view the converted degrees.
  • 4Reference the benchmark chart below for freezing, room, body, and boiling temperatures.

Key Rules & Formulas

  • Celsius to Fahrenheit: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
  • Fahrenheit to Celsius: °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
  • Celsius to Kelvin: K = °C + 273.15 (0 K represents Absolute Zero).

Understanding Temperature Scales

Temperature conversion is unique because different scales have different zero points. Unlike length or weight, you cannot just multiply by a factor; you often need to add or subtract an offset.

°C
Celsius: Used globally. Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C.
°F
Fahrenheit: Used mainly in the US. Water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F.
K
Kelvin: The absolute thermodynamic temperature scale used in science. 0 K is absolute zero.
