How do you convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?
To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply the temperature by 9/5 (1.8) and then add 32, using the formula °F = °C × 9/5 + 32. For example, 20 °C becomes 20 × 1.8 = 36, plus 32, which equals 68 °F. To go the other way, subtract 32 first and then multiply by 5/9: °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. A few anchors are worth memorizing so you can sanity-check results: 0 °C is 32 °F (water freezing), 37 °C is 98.6 °F (body temperature), and 100 °C is 212 °F (water boiling at sea level). Doing this by hand is easy to slip up on, especially the order of operations. Enter any Celsius value in the converter above and it shows the exact Fahrenheit result instantly, along with the formula it used so you can follow the math.
What is the difference between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin?
All three measure temperature but use different zero points and step sizes. Celsius is the everyday metric scale where water freezes at 0° and boils at 100° at sea level. Fahrenheit, standard in the United States, puts freezing at 32° and boiling at 212°, so its degrees are smaller and the scale is shifted. Kelvin is the SI base unit used in science: it starts at absolute zero (−273.15 °C), the coldest possible temperature, and shares Celsius-sized steps, so you simply add 273.15 to a Celsius value to get Kelvin. Kelvin never goes negative and uses no degree symbol. Choosing the right scale matters because recipes, weather reports, and lab protocols each assume a specific one. The converter handles all three, plus nine more scales, and displays every equivalent at once so nothing gets mixed up.
Why does Kelvin have no degree symbol and never go negative?
Kelvin is an absolute scale, meaning its zero point is the lowest temperature physically possible — absolute zero, where molecular motion effectively stops, equal to −273.15 °C. Because nothing can be colder than absolute zero, Kelvin values are always zero or positive; a negative Kelvin reading is impossible. It is also the SI base unit for temperature and is treated as a unit of measure rather than a position on a graded dial, which is why scientists write "300 K" rather than "300 °K" — the degree symbol was officially dropped in 1967. Each Kelvin step is exactly the same size as one Celsius degree, so conversions are just a 273.15 shift with no scaling. This makes Kelvin ideal for physics and chemistry, where ratios of temperature matter. Type a Celsius or Fahrenheit value above to see its exact Kelvin equivalent at once.
What is the feels-like temperature and how is it calculated?
Feels-like temperature describes how hot or cold the air actually feels to your body, which can differ sharply from the thermometer reading. In cold weather, wind strips away the thin layer of warm air around your skin, making it feel colder — this is wind chill, calculated from air temperature and wind speed. In hot weather, high humidity slows the sweat evaporation that normally cools you, making it feel hotter — this is the heat index, based on temperature and relative humidity. Both effects can shift the perceived temperature by several degrees, which matters for frostbite risk in winter and heat exhaustion in summer. The converter includes a feels-like calculator: enter a Celsius temperature plus a wind speed or humidity figure, and it estimates the wind chill or heat index for you, with the result shown in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.
What oven temperature does a UK Gas Mark setting equal?
Gas Mark is the numbered dial found on many British and Irish gas ovens, and each number maps to a specific temperature. As a rough guide, Gas Mark 1 is about 140 °C (275 °F), Gas Mark 4 — a common "moderate" baking setting — is around 180 °C (350 °F), Gas Mark 6 is roughly 200 °C (400 °F), and Gas Mark 9 reaches about 240 °C (475 °F). Each step up adds roughly 14 °C (25 °F). This matters because a recipe written in Gas Mark, Celsius, or Fahrenheit can leave food undercooked or burnt if you guess wrong — setting an oven to 180 °F instead of 180 °C, for instance, leaves a bake raw. The converter includes Gas Mark among its twelve scales, so you can enter a Celsius or Fahrenheit value and read the matching oven setting straight away.

About the Temperature Converter
The Temperature Converter turns a single reading into its equivalent across every scale you might need. Type a value, pick a scale, and it instantly shows the result in Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin and more. It is built for anyone who runs into mismatched units day to day — a cook following a recipe written for a different oven, a student checking physics homework, a traveller reading a foreign weather forecast, or a scientist needing an absolute-temperature figure.
Everything runs locally in your browser. Nothing you enter is uploaded or stored on a server, there is no sign-up, and no app to install. Conversions update in real time as you type, so the tool works the moment the page has loaded.
The 12 scales it converts between
Most people only need three units, and the converter shows those first, but it covers twelve in total so it works for niche and historical cases too:
- Celsius (°C) — the everyday metric scale; water freezes at 0° and boils at 100° at sea level.
- Fahrenheit (°F) — standard in the United States; water freezes at 32° and boils at 212°.
- Kelvin (K) — the SI base unit, starting at absolute zero (−273.15 °C). It has no degree symbol and never goes negative.
- Rankine (°R) — Fahrenheit's absolute counterpart, used in some engineering fields.
- Gas Mark — the numbered oven setting common on British and Irish cookers.
- Réaumur, Rømer, Newton, Delisle — historical scales you may meet in old texts and science history.
- Planck, Leiden and Wedgwood — specialist scales for extreme physics and high-temperature work.
For each conversion the tool can show the exact formula it used (for example, °F = °C × 9/5 + 32, or K = °C + 273.15), so you can check or learn the maths rather than just trusting a black box.
Tools beyond a simple conversion
The converter goes past one-number answers with several panels:
- All-units table — see your input expressed in every scale at once, with one-click copy on each row.
- Visual comparison — a color gradient places your temperature on a cold-to-hot bar against familiar reference points.
- Feels-like calculator — enter a Celsius temperature plus wind speed or relative humidity to estimate wind chill in cold weather or the heat index in hot, humid weather.
- Reference points — quick markers such as absolute zero (−273.15 °C), a normal human body temperature near 37 °C, water's freezing and boiling points, oven-baking ranges and the melting point of iron (1,538 °C).
- Conversion history — your recent conversions stay listed during the session so you can revisit them with a tap.
You can also set decimal precision, switch to scientific notation for very large or small values, swap the two scales instantly, and star the units you use most so they sit at the top.
Why accurate temperature conversion matters
A small unit mix-up can ruin a result. Setting an oven to 180 °F instead of 180 °C leaves food raw; reading a 38 °C fever as harmless because you expected Fahrenheit could delay care. Recipes, lab protocols, HVAC settings, weather reports and medical guidance all assume one specific scale, and the safe move is to convert before you act rather than guess.
A few anchors worth remembering: 37 °C equals 98.6 °F, a comfortable room is around 20–22 °C (68–72 °F), and 0 K — absolute zero — is the coldest possible temperature, where molecular motion effectively stops. Enter any value above to see it across all twelve scales at once.
