About Temperature Conversions

Helpful context and notes for converting Temperature units.

Temperature values are commonly reported in degrees Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin.

Temperature conversions may involve offsets as well as scaling. Apply conversions carefully, especially in equations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Temperature conversions are exact when correct formulas and offsets are applied.

Yes, for reference and checking. Always confirm assumptions for final calculations.

Celsius and Fahrenheit are relative scales, while Kelvin is an absolute temperature scale.

Some temperature scales do not start at absolute zero, requiring offset adjustments.

Kelvin is required in many thermodynamic equations.

Fun Fact

One mechanical horsepower is about the power of a very determined horse - or about what it takes to justify buying a louder car than you really need.

How many microwatts is 1 mechanicalhorsepower?
