What is Temperature?

Temperature is the measure of how hot or cold an object is. It reflects the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance. Common units include Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), and Kelvin (K).

How to Use a Temperature Converter

To use a temperature converter:

  1. Enter the temperature value you want to convert
  2. Select the input unit (°C, °F, or K)
  3. Select the target unit
  4. The converter will instantly display the converted value

Common Temperature Units

Most temperature converters support the following units:

  1. Celsius (°C)
  2. Fahrenheit (°F)
  3. Kelvin (K)
  4. Rankine (°R)
  5. Réaumur (°Re)

Applications of Temperature Conversion

Temperature converters are useful for:

  1. Science experiments and physics calculations
  2. Cooking and baking with recipes from different countries
  3. Weather data interpretation and meteorology
  4. Engineering and industrial processes requiring precise temperatures

Limitations of Temperature Converters

Keep in mind:

  1. Accuracy depends on correct input values and units
  2. Some rare units may not be supported by all converters
  3. Does not account for environmental factors affecting perceived temperature

Conversion Formulas

Temperature Conversions

Celsius → Fahrenheit: (°C × 9/5) + 32
Fahrenheit → Celsius: (°F − 32) × 5/9
Celsius → Kelvin: °C + 273.15
Kelvin → Celsius: K − 273.15
Fahrenheit → Kelvin: (°F − 32) × 5/9 + 273.15
Kelvin → Fahrenheit: (K − 273.15) × 9/5 + 32

Example

Temperature Converter

A temperature converter allows you to convert between Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), and Kelvin (K).
Common conversions:
°C to °F: (°C × 9/5) + 32
°F to °C: (°F − 32) × 5/9
°C to K: °C + 273.15
K to °C: K − 273.15

Real-Life Example

A weather report shows that the temperature is 25°C, and you want to know it in Fahrenheit and Kelvin:

  • Convert to Fahrenheit: (25 × 9/5) + 32 = 45 + 32 = 77°F
  • Convert to Kelvin: 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K

Key Insight

Temperature conversion is useful in cooking, science, and travel. For example, 25°C is equivalent to 77°F or 298.15 K.
