Temperature Converter

Type a temperature in either box. Negative temperatures work; anything below absolute zero is flagged as impossible.

20 °C = 68 °F

Formulas

°C → °F°F = °C × 9/5 + 32
°F → °C°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9
°C → KK = °C + 273.15
K → °C°C = K − 273.15
°F → KK = (°F − 32) × 5/9 + 273.15
K → °F°F = (K − 273.15) × 9/5 + 32

Why temperature is different

Most unit conversions just multiply by a factor. Temperature scales also have different zero points, so conversion needs an offset as well. That is why 10 °C is not “twice as warm” as 5 °C, and why a temperature change of 10 °C equals a change of 18 °F but a temperature of 10 °C equals 50 °F.
