Frequently Asked Questions
Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) are two different temperature scales. The Celsius scale sets the freezing point of water at 0°C and the boiling point at 100°C (at sea level), while the Fahrenheit scale sets these points at 32°F and 212°F respectively. Celsius is used in most countries worldwide, while Fahrenheit is primarily used in the United States.
Kelvin (K) is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). It's used in scientific measurements because it's an absolute temperature scale where 0K (absolute zero) represents the theoretical absence of all thermal energy. Unlike Celsius and Fahrenheit, Kelvin doesn't use degrees and is particularly useful in physics and chemistry calculations.
Celsius and Fahrenheit scales intersect at -40°, meaning -40°C = -40°F. This is the only temperature where both scales show the same numerical value.
Rankine (°R) is an absolute temperature scale similar to Kelvin but based on Fahrenheit degrees. Absolute zero is 0°R, and the freezing point of water is 491.67°R. Réaumur (°Ré) is an older scale where the freezing point of water is 0°Ré and boiling point is 80°Ré. It was used in parts of Europe but is now largely obsolete.
Here are the basic 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
- Fahrenheit to Kelvin: K = (°F + 459.67) × 5/9
- Kelvin to Fahrenheit: °F = (K × 9/5) - 459.67

I love that I can type "100F" directly and it understands what I mean. The sample button is also great for testing how it works.

As a chemistry professor, I appreciate the inclusion of Kelvin and Rankine scales. Most converters only do Celsius-Fahrenheit. Excellent tool!
