Temperature Converter Online Tool

What is Temperature Converter Tool?

The Temperature Converter is a simple web tool that allows you to quickly convert temperature readings between the three most common scales: Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.

How to use Temperature Converter Online Tool?

• Enter the temperature value you need to convert into the "From" input box.
• Choose the unit of the entered temperature (e.g., Celsius).
• Select the unit you wish to convert to (e.g., Fahrenheit).
• The converted temperature is calculated and shown in the "To" box immediately.

Understanding the Temperature Scales

Unlike length or weight, temperature scales have different zero points and interval sizes, making their conversion unique. Here’s a brief look at each:

Celsius (°C)

Part of the metric system and used globally, the Celsius scale is based on the freezing (0°C) and boiling (100°C) points of water at standard atmospheric pressure.

Fahrenheit (°F)

Primarily used in the United States, the Fahrenheit scale sets the freezing point of water at 32°F and the boiling point at 212°F. The interval between these points is 180 degrees.

Kelvin (K)

The Kelvin scale is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). It is an absolute scale, meaning 0 K is absolute zero—the point where all thermal motion ceases. It uses the same interval size as Celsius.

The Formulas Behind the Conversion

Our tool uses the standard mathematical formulas for precise conversions:

• 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

Key Temperature Benchmarks

Here are some common reference points across the different scales:

• Absolute Zero: -273.15 °C / -459.67 °F / 0 K
• Water Freezes: 0 °C / 32 °F / 273.15 K
• Normal Body Temperature: ~37 °C / ~98.6 °F / ~310.15 K
• Water Boils: 100 °C / 212 °F / 373.15 K
