Celsius ↔ Fahrenheit

🌡️

°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32

°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9

Celsius ↔ Kelvin

🔬

K = °C + 273.15

°C = K - 273.15

Advanced Conversions

Fahrenheit to Kelvin

K = (°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15

1. First subtract 32 from °F

2. Multiply the result by 5/9

Quick Reference Guide

Quick Tips

  • • Double °C, add 30 (≈ °F)
  • • Subtract 30, halve (°F ≈ °C)
  • • Add 273.15 (°C to K)
  • • 1°C = 1.8°F change

Remember

  • • Absolute zero: 0K
  • • -40°C = -40°F
  • • K never negative
  • • 1K = 1°C interval
