Temperature Scale Converter

Unlike other units of measurement, temperature scales do not start at zero (except Kelvin). This makes conversion slightly more complex than simple multiplication.

Key Formulas

• Celsius to Fahrenheit: (°C × 9/5) + 32
• Fahrenheit to Celsius: (°F - 32) × 5/9
• Celsius to Kelvin: °C + 273.15

Understanding the Scales

Celsius (°C) is the standard metric system unit, where 0° is the freezing point of water. Fahrenheit (°F) is primarily used in the US, where water freezes at 32°. Kelvin (K) is the scientific scale used in physics and thermodynamics.
