Temperature Converter

About Temperature Converter

The Temperature Converter tool allows you to convert temperature values between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin scales. It's a practical utility for scientific calculations, cooking, weather comparisons, and international communication.

How to Use the Temperature Converter

1. Enter a temperature value in any of the input fields (Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin).
2. As soon as you enter a value in one field, the corresponding values in the other scales will automatically update.
3. Alternatively, use the slider to adjust the temperature and see real-time conversions.
4. Click the "Reset" button to clear all fields and start over.

Temperature Scales Explained

• Celsius (°C): The metric temperature scale where water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C at standard atmospheric pressure. Used in most countries worldwide.
• Fahrenheit (°F): Temperature scale where water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F at standard atmospheric pressure. Primarily used in the United States.
• Kelvin (K): The SI base unit of temperature, used primarily in scientific contexts. 0K represents absolute zero, the theoretical lowest possible temperature. Note that Kelvin doesn't use the degree symbol.

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 - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15
• Kelvin to Fahrenheit: °F = (K - 273.15) × 9/5 + 32

Common Uses for Temperature Conversion

• Converting weather forecasts when traveling internationally
• Following recipes from different regions with different measurement standards
• Scientific calculations and experiments
• Converting body temperature readings between scales
• Educational purposes for learning about temperature scales
• Industrial and manufacturing processes that specify temperatures
