About temperature scales

Temperature scales mix ratios and offsets. Kelvin (K) is absolute; Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) are offset scales.

  • °C → °F: (°C × 9/5) + 32
  • °F → °C: (°F − 32) × 5/9

  • Celsius (°C) (celsius)
    Celsius (°C) is an offset scale where 0 °C marks water’s freezing point and 100 °C its boiling point at 1 atm. Widely used worldwide.
  • Fahrenheit (°F) (fahrenheit)
    Fahrenheit (°F) is an offset scale with 32 °F as freezing point and 212 °F as boiling point. Still used in the US and some Caribbean nations.
  • Kelvin (K) (kelvin)
    Kelvin (K) is the SI base unit of temperature, measuring absolute thermodynamic temperature starting from absolute zero.
  • Rankine (°R) (rankine)
    Temperature unit used in specific engineering or scientific contexts (e.g. Rankine).

Formulas and notes

Offsets matter: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32, K = °C + 273.15.

Temperature conversions are affine (ratio + offset), not pure ratios.

FAQ

Is temperature conversion exact?
Temperature conversions use exact affine formulas (ratio + offset).
Can I share a specific result?
Yes. Every converter has a clean, shareable URL like /convert/meter-to-foot/2.5.
