What Is a Temperature Converter?
A temperature converter changes a temperature from one measurement scale to another.
The three most common temperature scales are Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin.
Fahrenheit is commonly used in the United States, while Celsius is widely used around the world. Kelvin is commonly used for scientific measurements.
Temperature Scales Explained
Fahrenheit
Fahrenheit (°F) is commonly used for everyday temperatures in the United States, including weather forecasts and household thermostats.
Celsius
Celsius (°C) is commonly used for weather, cooking, travel, and everyday temperature measurements in most countries.
Kelvin
Kelvin (K) is an absolute temperature scale commonly used in science and engineering.
Common Temperature Conversions
Fahrenheit to Celsius
To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature and multiply the result by 5/9.
Celsius to Fahrenheit
To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply the Celsius temperature by 9/5 and then add 32.
Celsius to Kelvin
