Introduction to Temperature Conversion

Temperature measures the relative heat stored within an object as compared with its surroundings. There are three main temperature scales:

  • Fahrenheit (F)
  • Celcius or Centigrade (C)
  • Kelvin (K)

Temperature Conversion from Fahrenheit

When converting temperature from Fahrenheit, use these conversion rates:

  • C = (5/9)(F-32)
  • K = C + 273.15
Thus, convert first to celcius and then to Kelvin.

Temperature Conversion from Celcius

When converting temperature from Celcius, use these conversion rates:

  • F = (9/5)C + 32
  • K = C + 273.15

Top

Temperature Conversion from Kelvin

When converting temperature from Kelvin, use these conversion rates:

  • C = K - 273.15
  • F = (9/5)C + 32
Thus, convert first to Celcius and then to Fahrenheit.
