The temperature scale shows key reference points: absolute zero, freezing point, and boiling point of water at standard pressure.
Common Temperature Conversions
0°C = 32°F = 273.15K
Water freezing point
100°C = 212°F = 373.15K
Water boiling point
20°C = 68°F = 293.15K
Room temperature
37°C = 98.6°F = 310.15K
Average human body temperature
-273.15°C = -459.67°F = 0K
Absolute zero
-40°C = -40°F = 233.15K
Equal point of Celsius and Fahrenheit
Practical Applications
Cooking and Food Science
Converting between Fahrenheit and Celsius for recipes from different regions or when using cooking equipment with different temperature scales.
Weather and Climate
Converting temperature readings between Celsius and Fahrenheit when traveling or reading international weather reports.
Scientific Research
Scientists often use Kelvin for calculations but may need to convert to Celsius or Fahrenheit for practical applications or communication.
Medical Applications
Converting between body temperature readings in different scales, particularly between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
