Temperature units are essential measurements used to quantify how hot or cold something is. Different temperature scales have been developed throughout history, each with its own reference points and applications.
The Celsius scale (°C), used by most countries worldwide, sets the freezing point of water at 0°C and the boiling point at 100°C (at standard atmospheric pressure). It is the standard unit in the metric system and scientific applications.
The Fahrenheit scale (°F), commonly used in the United States, sets the freezing point of water at 32°F and the boiling point at 212°F. It was developed to provide more granular measurements for everyday weather conditions.
The Kelvin scale (K) is the SI base unit of temperature used in scientific contexts. It starts at absolute zero (the theoretical temperature at which all thermal motion ceases) and uses the same increment size as Celsius. There are no negative values in Kelvin.
Understanding the relationships between different temperature units is important in many contexts:
Common conversion formulas include:
Our temperature unit converter simplifies these calculations, allowing you to quickly and accurately convert between any combination of temperature units without memorizing conversion formulas or performing complex calculations manually.
Our temperature converter allows you to convert between various units of temperature. Simply enter a value in any field, and the converter will automatically calculate the equivalent values in all other units. The conversion happens instantly as you type.
The converter supports all common temperature units including Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), Kelvin (K), and Rankine (°R).
Our converter uses precise conversion formulas and maintains high accuracy across all calculations. For most practical purposes, the results are accurate to several decimal places, which is sufficient for most everyday and professional applications.
Yes, the converter is suitable for educational, scientific, and engineering applications. However, for critical scientific or engineering work requiring extreme precision, we recommend verifying results with specialized tools calibrated for your specific field.
