Frequently Asked Questions
What is the formula for Celsius to Fahrenheit?
F = (9/5)C + 32 or F = 1.8C + 32. To reverse: C = (F - 32) × 5/9.
What is Kelvin?
Kelvin is the scientific temperature scale starting at absolute zero (0 K = -273.15°C). K = C + 273.15.
What are key reference temperatures?
Water freezes at 0°C/32°F. Water boils at 100°C/212°F. Body temperature is about 37°C/98.6°F.
