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!)
