Kelvin is normally only used in science. Understanding temperature conversions can be useful when understanding weather forecasts, when cooking, checking for a fever and in scientific research.
- Fahrenheit to Celsius (°F to °C) - Metric ConversionCelsius, also known as Centigrade in some settings, is used in the majority of the world for temperature measurement. Created by Anders Celsius, a Swedish astronomer in the mid-1700s, the freezing point of water is denoted as 0 degrees C while the boiling point of water is 100 degrees C.
- Celsius to Fahrenheit (ºC to ºF) - Metric ConversionThe other point at which Celsius was set – 100 degrees Celsius – was defined as the boiling point of water. Since its definition, the Celsius scale has been redefined to peg it to Kelvin. Zero degrees Celsius is now defined as 273.15K. As one degree Celsius is equal to one Kelvin, boiling point of water is equal to 273.15 + 100 = 373.15 Kelvin.
- Celsius conversion tableZero on the Celsius scale (0°C) is now defined as the equivalent to 273.15K, with a temperature difference of 1 deg C equivalent to a difference of 1K, meaning the unit size in each scale is the same. This means that 100°C, previously defined as the boiling point of water, is now defined as the equivalent to 373.15K.
- Celsius conversion calculators, tables and formulas (ºC)In 1742, Celsius created a temperature scale wherein 0 degrees was the boiling point of water and 100 degrees the freezing point. Around this time other physicists independently developed a similar scale but reversed, such that 0 degrees was the melting point of ice and 100 degrees the boiling point of water.
