Understanding Temperature Conversion

Temperature measures thermal energy. Celsius is the global standard, Fahrenheit is common in the US, and Kelvin is used in scientific contexts. Each scale has different zero points and intervals.

Unit Type Unit Name Value in Celsius (°C) / Kelvin (K)
Reference Absolute Zero -273.15°C = -459.67°F = 0K
Reference Water Freezing 0°C = 32°F = 273.15K
Reference Room Temperature ~20°C = ~68°F = ~293K
Reference Body Temperature ~37°C = ~98.6°F = ~310K
Reference Water Boiling 100°C = 212°F = 373.15K

Conversion Tip

Temperature scales measure thermal energy. Celsius is used globally, while Fahrenheit remains common in the United States. Kelvin is the scientific standard.


Quick Reference

  • Water freezes at 0°C = 32°F = 273.15K
  • Water boils at 100°C = 212°F = 373.15K
  • Room temperature ≈ 20°C = 68°F = 293.15K
  • Body temperature ≈ 37°C = 98.6°F = 310.15K
  • Absolute zero = -273.15°C = -459.67°F = 0K
  • °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
  • K = °C + 273.15

Frequently asked questions

How many °C are in 1 °F?

It depends on the value, because temperature is not a fixed ratio — use °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. For reference, 32 °F = 0 °C and 212 °F = 100 °C.

What is the formula to convert °F to °C?

°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9.

How do I convert back from °C to °F?

°F = °C × 9/5 + 32.

What is 68 °F in °C?

68 °F = 20 °C.
