About Temperature Conversion

Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is. The three main temperature scales are Celsius (used worldwide), Fahrenheit (used in the US), and Kelvin (used in science).

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

Key Reference Points

  • Water freezes: 0°C = 32°F = 273.15K
  • Water boils: 100°C = 212°F = 373.15K
  • Body temperature: 37°C = 98.6°F = 310.15K
  • Room temperature: 20-22°C = 68-72°F
  • Absolute zero: -273.15°C = -459.67°F = 0K

Quick Mental Math Tips

  • To roughly convert °C to °F: Double and add 30
  • To roughly convert °F to °C: Subtract 30 and halve
  • 16°C ≈ 61°F (digits reversed!)
  • 28°C ≈ 82°F (digits reversed!)
