Temperature Converter
Convert temperature between Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin.
Temperature conversions between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin are needed in cooking, science, weather, medicine, and industry. This converter handles all three scales, explains the formulas, and includes a reference table of important temperature benchmarks — from absolute zero to the surface of the sun — to give context to any temperature value.
📋 How to Use This Calculator
Enter a temperature in any of the three scales (Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin) and the other two are calculated instantly. The reference section shows key temperature benchmarks for context. For cooking, a quick-reference table shows common oven temperatures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.
💡 Key Facts & Information
Conversion formulas: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. K = °C + 273.15. Key reference points: Absolute zero: 0 K = −273.15°C = −459.67°F. Water freezes: 0°C = 32°F = 273.15 K. Normal body temperature: 37°C = 98.6°F. Water boils (at sea level): 100°C = 212°F = 373.15 K. Common cooking temperatures: 160°C = 320°F (low oven), 180°C = 356°F (moderate — most baking), 200°C = 392°F (hot oven), 220°C = 428°F (very hot). Indian weather context: Delhi summer: 42–48°C. Leh winter: −20 to −30°C. Body temperature above 38°C = fever; above 40°C = medical emergency.
