Common Temperature Scales and Their Uses

Celsius (°C)
Used worldwide for weather, cooking, and daily temperature measurements.

Fahrenheit (°F)
Popular in the United States for weather forecasts and cooking.

Kelvin (K)
The scientific standard for temperature, especially in physics and chemistry, where 0 K is absolute zero.

A Brief History of Temperature Scales

The Celsius scale was developed by Anders Celsius in 1742 and is based on the freezing and boiling points of water. Fahrenheit was invented earlier by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in the early 18th century, using a scale based on a mixture of ice, water, and salt. Kelvin, named after Lord Kelvin, is an absolute scale starting at absolute zero-the lowest theoretical temperature where particles have minimal motion. These scales reflect different historical and practical approaches to measuring heat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?
A: Multiply the Celsius temperature by 9/5 and add 32. For example, 25°C × 9/5 + 32 = 77°F.

Q: Can I convert negative temperatures?
A: Yes, you can convert negative values in Celsius and Fahrenheit. Kelvin cannot go below zero (absolute zero).

Q: Why is Kelvin used in science?
A: Kelvin is an absolute scale used for precise scientific measurements because it starts at absolute zero, where molecular motion theoretically stops.

Q: Is this temperature converter free?
A: Yes! Our temperature tools are free to use online, with no downloads or registrations required.
