Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?
Multiply the Celsius temperature by 9/5 (or 1.8), then add 32. Formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. For example, 100°C = (100 × 1.8) + 32 = 212°F (boiling point of water).
How do I convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?
Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit value, then multiply by 5/9. Formula: °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. For example, 98.6°F = (98.6 − 32) × 5/9 = 37°C (normal body temperature).
What is Kelvin and how do I convert from Celsius?
Kelvin is the SI base unit of temperature. To convert Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15. So 0°C = 273.15 K (freezing point of water) and 100°C = 373.15 K (boiling point).
What is absolute zero?
Absolute zero is the lowest theoretically possible temperature: 0 Kelvin = −273.15°C = −459.67°F. At this temperature, all molecular motion stops.
What is normal body temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit?
Normal human body temperature is 37°C or 98.6°F. A fever is generally considered to be above 38°C (100.4°F).
