How do you convert temperatures between the various scales? |
The following lists how you convert from one temperature scale to another using, of course, simple mathematics:
Celsius to Fahrenheit —F° = (C° × 1.8) + 32; also seen as ((9/5)C°) + 32
Fahrenheit to Kelvin —K° = F° - 32 / 1.8 + 273.15
Kelvin to Fahrenheit —F° = (K° - 273.15) × 1.8 + 32
Celsius to Kelvin —K° = C° + 273.15
Kelvin to Celsius—C° = K° - 273.15
