About Temperature Conversion

Temperature conversion is essential for science, cooking, weather reporting, and international communication. Unlike other measurements, temperature scales have different zero points and interval sizes.

Key Temperature Scales:

  • Celsius - Based on water freezing (0°C) and boiling (100°C)
  • Fahrenheit - Common in the US, water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F
  • Kelvin - Absolute temperature scale used in science, 0K is absolute zero

Common Use Cases

Everyday Use:

  • • Converting weather forecasts between Celsius and Fahrenheit
  • • Adjusting oven temperatures for international recipes
  • • Understanding body temperature readings in different units
  • • Setting thermostat temperatures when traveling

Professional Use:

  • • Scientific research and laboratory experiments
  • • Engineering calculations and thermal analysis
  • • Medical applications and pharmaceutical storage
  • • Industrial processes and manufacturing
