Frequently Asked Questions

Basics

How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?

Multiply the Celsius value by 9/5 and add 32. For example, 100°C = 100 × 9/5 + 32 = 212°F.

How do I convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?

Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit value, then multiply by 5/9. For example, 98.6°F = (98.6 - 32) × 5/9 = 37°C.

What is absolute zero?

Absolute zero is 0 Kelvin (−273.15°C or −459.67°F), the lowest possible temperature where all molecular motion theoretically stops.

Why does Kelvin not use degrees?

Kelvin is an absolute temperature scale based on thermodynamic absolute zero. Unlike Celsius and Fahrenheit, it's an absolute measurement, not a relative one, so it's written as "273.15 K" not "273.15°K".

Reference Points

At what temperature are Celsius and Fahrenheit equal?

At −40 degrees: −40°C = −40°F. This is the only temperature where the two scales give the same numerical value.

What is normal room temperature?

Room temperature is typically considered 20-22°C (68-72°F). The converter shows reference points to help you understand where your temperature falls relative to common benchmarks.
