What this temperature converter does
Enter a temperature, choose the scale you have and the scale you want, and the converted value appears immediately. It converts between Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F) and Kelvin (K). It is useful for weather forecasts when travelling, oven temperatures in recipes, body temperature, science homework and engineering.
How to use it
- Type the temperature. The box starts at 25.
- Choose the scale in the From list.
- Choose the scale in the To list.
- Read the result.
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
To go between Fahrenheit and Kelvin, the tool converts through Celsius.
Example: 100°C = 100 × 9 ÷ 5 + 32 = 212°F, the boiling point of water at sea level, and 373.15 K. Freezing water, 0°C, is 32°F and 273.15 K.
Handy reference points
Normal body temperature is about 37°C or 98.6°F. A comfortable room is around 20 to 22°C, which is 68 to 72°F. Many ovens run at 180°C, which is 356°F. You can type numbers in Arabic-Indic digits or with a decimal comma, and negative temperatures work too. Your numbers stay in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?
Multiply the Celsius value by 9, divide by 5 and add 32. For example, 25°C × 9 ÷ 5 + 32 = 77°F.
How do I convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?
Subtract 32, multiply by 5 and divide by 9. For example, (98.6°F − 32) × 5 ÷ 9 = 37°C, which is normal body temperature.
At what temperature are Celsius and Fahrenheit equal?
At −40 degrees. Minus 40°C and minus 40°F are the same temperature.
Why can't I enter a temperature below absolute zero?
Absolute zero (0 K, −273.15°C or −459.67°F) is the lowest possible temperature, so lower values are impossible and the converter rejects them.
