Temperature Converter (Educational)
Why Temperature Conversion Is Important
Different regions and scientific systems use different temperature scales. Understanding how temperature is converted helps learners read measurements correctly and understand scientific data.
Understanding Temperature Scales
Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin measure the same physical quantity but use different reference points and intervals. Conversion requires formulas, not simple multiplication.
Common Conversion Formulas
°C → °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
°F → °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9
°C → K = °C + 273.15
°F → °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9
°C → K = °C + 273.15
Step-by-Step Example
- 25°C × 9/5 = 45
- 45 + 32 = 77°F
