Temperature Conversion Formulas

Celsius to Fahrenheit

°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32

Fahrenheit to Celsius

°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9

Celsius to Kelvin

K = °C + 273.15

Kelvin to Celsius

°C = K - 273.15

Fahrenheit to Kelvin

K = (°F + 459.67) × 5/9

Rankine to Kelvin

K = °R × 5/9

Celsius to Fahrenheit

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply the Celsius value by 9/5 and add 32. For example, 100°C equals 212°F.

Fahrenheit to Celsius

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit value and multiply by 5/9. For example, 98.6°F equals 37°C.

Celsius to Kelvin

To convert Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15. For example, 0°C equals 273.15 K.

Kelvin to Celsius

To convert Kelvin to Celsius, subtract 273.15. Kelvin values below 0 are invalid because Kelvin is an absolute temperature scale.

About Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, and Rankine

Celsius is widely used for everyday temperature, Fahrenheit is common in the United States, Kelvin is used in science as an absolute scale, and Rankine is an absolute Fahrenheit-based scale used in some engineering contexts.

Absolute Zero Validation

The converter rejects values below absolute zero: -273.15°C, -459.67°F, 0 K, and 0°R. Values at absolute zero are valid.
