Temperature conversion formulas
Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin use different zero points and scale relationships. Toolmera converts the input to Celsius first, then calculates the requested output scale.
The calculator rejects inputs that would represent a temperature below absolute zero.
Celsius → Fahrenheit°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
Fahrenheit → Celsius°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9
Celsius → KelvinK = °C + 273.15
Kelvin → Celsius°C = K − 273.15
Useful temperature reference points
Reference values make it easier to sanity-check a conversion. Water freezes at 0 °C / 32 °F under standard reference conditions, while −40 is the point where Celsius and Fahrenheit have the same numeric value.
Kelvin starts at absolute zero, so negative Kelvin values are not physically valid in this converter.
Absolute zero0 K = −273.15 °C = −459.67 °F
Water freezing point0 °C = 32 °F = 273.15 K
−40 point−40 °C = −40 °F
Water boiling point100 °C = 212 °F = 373.15 K
