Temperature Converter
Convert temperatures between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
Temperature Converter Overview
A temperature converter is a device that helps users quickly change the temperature between different devices. It is widely used to ensure meteorology, cooking, engineering science, scientific research and different systems in daily life to ensure accurate temperature reading.
Common Temperature Conversions:
- Celsius (°C) to Fahrenheit (°F): Used in weather forecasts and daily temperature readings.
- Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C): Common to convert US temperature measurements.
- Celsius (°C) to Kelvin (K): Used in scientific and engineering programs.
- Kelvin (K) to Fahrenheit (°F): Essential in physics and thermodynamics.
- Rankine (°R) to Other Units: Thermodynamic calculations are used.
Key Temperature Conversion Formulas:
1. Celsius to Fahrenheit:
°F=(°C×5/9)+32
2. Fahrenheit to Celsius:
°C=(°F−32)×9/5
3. Celsius to Kelvin:
K=°C+273.15
4. Kelvin to Celsius:
°C=K−273.15
5. Fahrenheit to Kelvin:
K=(°F+459.67)×9/5
6. Kelvin to Fahrenheit:
°F=(K×5/9)−459.67
7. Rankine to Celsius:
°C=(°R−491.67)×9/5
Key Uses of the Temperature Converter:
- Weather Forecasting: Convert temperatures for global comparisons.
- Cooking & Baking: Adjust recipes based on different unit systems.
- Scientific Research: Convert temperatures for laboratory experiments.
- HVAC & Engineering: Ensure proper temperature control in systems.
- Medical Applications: Convert body temperature readings between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
How It Works
1. Select the Input Temperature Unit
- Example: 37°C (Celsius)
2. Select the Output Unit
- Example: Convert to Fahrenheit (°F)
3. Click ‘Convert’
- The tool calculates and displays the converted temperature instantly.
Examples
Example 1: Convert 25°C to Fahrenheit
Input:
- Temperature in Celsius: 25°C
- Convert To: Fahrenheit (°F)
Calculation:
(25×5/9)+32=77°F
Result:
- 25°C = 77°F
Example 2: Convert 300 Kelvin to Celsius
Input:
- Temperature in Kelvin: 300 K
- Convert To: Celsius (°C)
Calculation:
300−273.15=26.85°C
Result:
- 300 K = 26.85°C

Conversion Formula
Example Calculation
Celsius (°C)
Fahrenheit (°F)
(°C × 9/5) + 32
25°C = (25 × 9/5) + 32 = 77°F
Celsius (°C)
Kelvin (K)
°C + 273.15
25°C = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K
Fahrenheit (°F)
Celsius (°C)
(°F - 32) × 5/9
77°F = (77 - 32) × 5/9 = 25°C
Fahrenheit (°F)
Kelvin (K)
(°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15
77°F = (77 - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15 = 298.15 K
Kelvin (K)
Celsius (°C)
K - 273.15
298.15 K = 298.15 - 273.15 = 25°C
Kelvin (K)
Fahrenheit (°F)
(K - 273.15) × 9/5 + 32
298.15 K = (298.15 - 273.15) × 9/5 + 32 = 77°F
