Temperature Conversion

Temperature conversions are essential for various applications, from weather forecasting and cooking to scientific research and everyday measurements. Understanding temperature conversions ensures accurate and consistent results across different measurement systems.

Common Temperature Units

Metric Units

Celsius (°C)
Kelvin (K)

Imperial Units

Fahrenheit (°F)

Common Applications

Field	Measurement Types	Typical Uses
Weather	Celsius, Fahrenheit	Weather forecasts, climate studies
Cooking	Celsius, Fahrenheit	Recipe temperatures, food safety
Science	Celsius, Kelvin	Laboratory experiments, research
Everyday Use	Celsius, Fahrenheit	Room temperature, body temperature

Conversion Tips

Use a thermometer for precise temperature measurements
For quick estimates: 0°C = 32°F, 100°C = 212°F
Kelvin is used in scientific contexts, starting from absolute zero
Remember that 0°C is the freezing point of water, and 100°C is the boiling point
For body temperature, 37°C is approximately 98.6°F

Temperature Conversions

Conversion	Formula/Rule	Quick Answer
Celsius to Fahrenheit	°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32	Multiply °C by 9/5, then add 32
Fahrenheit to Celsius	°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9	Subtract 32 from °F, then multiply by 5/9
Celsius to Kelvin	K = °C + 273.15	Add 273.15 to °C
Kelvin to Celsius	°C = K - 273.15	Subtract 273.15 from K
Fahrenheit to Kelvin	K = (°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15	Convert °F to °C, then add 273.15
Kelvin to Fahrenheit	°F = (K - 273.15) × 9/5 + 32	Convert K to °C, then to °F
