What Is Temperature Conversion?

Temperature conversion is the process of expressing the same temperature using a different temperature scale. A value measured in Celsius, for example, can be represented as an equivalent value in Fahrenheit or Kelvin.

Unlike many simple unit conversions, temperature scales can include both scale factors and offsets. This is why Celsius-to-Fahrenheit conversion requires multiplication and addition rather than a single multiplication factor.

Celsius Temperature Scale

Celsius is widely used for weather, everyday measurements, education and scientific contexts. The symbol for degrees Celsius is °C.

A commonly used reference is that water freezes near 0 °C and boils near 100 °C under standard atmospheric conditions.

Fahrenheit Temperature Scale

Fahrenheit is commonly used for everyday temperature reporting in the United States. The symbol is °F.

On common reference tables, water freezes near 32 °F and boils near 212 °F under standard atmospheric conditions.

Kelvin Temperature Scale

Kelvin is the SI unit of thermodynamic temperature. Its symbol is K, written without a degree symbol. The Kelvin scale begins at absolute zero.

Celsius and Kelvin have equal-sized increments, while their numerical values differ by 273.15 for corresponding temperature points.

Rankine Temperature Scale

Rankine is an absolute temperature scale whose degree interval matches the Fahrenheit interval. It is sometimes used in engineering and thermodynamic calculations.

How to Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit

Multiply the Celsius temperature by 1.8 and add 32. For example, 20 °C converts to 68 °F.

How to Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius

Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature and divide by 1.8. For example, 68 °F converts to 20 °C.

How to Convert Celsius to Kelvin

Add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature. For example, 25 °C converts to 298.15 K.

Common Uses of a Temperature Converter

Temperature converters are useful for weather, international travel, cooking, laboratory work, education, engineering, HVAC calculations, manufacturing and scientific research.

Important Temperature Tip

Converting a specific temperature point is different from converting a temperature difference or interval. This calculator is designed for temperature points.
