Understanding Temperature Conversion
Temperature conversion is essential for scientific research, cooking,
weather forecasting, and everyday life. Our free online temperature
converter makes it easy to convert between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and
Kelvin scales with just a few clicks.
What is Celsius?
The Celsius scale (°C) is a temperature scale where 0°C represents the
freezing point of water and 100°C represents the boiling point of
water at standard atmospheric pressure. It is widely used around the
world and is the standard unit of temperature measurement in most
countries.
What is Fahrenheit?
The Fahrenheit scale (°F) is a temperature scale where 32°F represents
the freezing point of water and 212°F represents the boiling point of
water at standard atmospheric pressure. It is primarily used in the
United States and a few other countries.
What is Kelvin?
The Kelvin scale (K) is an absolute temperature scale where 0K
represents absolute zero, the theoretical point where all molecular
motion ceases. It is widely used in scientific contexts and is the SI
base unit of temperature.

Common Temperature Conversion Questions
How to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit? Multiply the
Celsius temperature by 9/5 and add 32. For example, 20°C is (20 × 9/5)
+ 32 = 68°F.
What is 100°F in Celsius? 100°F is equal to 37.78°C.
