What is Temperature Converter?
Temperature is a physical quantity that expresses hot and cold, measured with a thermometer. It represents the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance. Different temperature scales are used worldwide for various applications.
Understanding the Units
Celsius (°C)
A metric temperature scale where water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C at standard atmospheric pressure.
Common Uses: Everyday use worldwide (except USA), scientific measurements, weather forecasts
Fahrenheit (°F)
A temperature scale where water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F at standard atmospheric pressure.
Common Uses: United States, some Caribbean countries, weather reporting in USA
Kelvin (K)
The SI base unit of temperature. Zero Kelvin (absolute zero) is the lowest possible temperature.
Common Uses: Scientific research, physics, chemistry, astronomy
Rankine (°R)
An absolute temperature scale using Fahrenheit degrees. Zero Rankine is absolute zero.
Common Uses: Engineering applications in the United States, thermodynamics
Common Conversions
- Room temperature: 20°C = 68°F = 293.15 K = 527.67°R
- Human body temperature: 37°C = 98.6°F = 310.15 K = 558.27°R
- Water freezing point: 0°C = 32°F = 273.15 K = 491.67°R
- Water boiling point: 100°C = 212°F = 373.15 K = 671.67°R
- Absolute zero: -273.15°C = -459.67°F = 0 K = 0°R
Conversion Formulas
- Celsius to Fahrenheit: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
- Fahrenheit to Celsius: °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
- Celsius to Kelvin: K = °C + 273.15
- Kelvin to Celsius: °C = K - 273.15
- Fahrenheit to Rankine: °R = °F + 459.67
- Rankine to Fahrenheit: °F = °R - 459.67
Practical Examples
Cooking: Oven temperature 180°C = 356°F (common baking temperature)
Weather: A hot summer day might be 35°C = 95°F
Freezer: Typical freezer temperature -18°C = 0°F
Science: Liquid nitrogen boils at -196°C = -321°F = 77 K
