Whether you’re checking the weather, adjusting oven settings, or studying science, quickly switch between Fahrenheit (°F), Celsius (°C / Centigrade), and Kelvin (K). Type a value, choose the units, and get an instant result—with a handy chart for common conversions like 0°C = 32°F, 20°C = 68°F, and 100°C = 212°F. Exact formulas are included below for clarity and accuracy.

How to Convert Fahrenheit and Celsius

  • Fahrenheit → Celsius: °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9
  • Celsius → Fahrenheit: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
  • Celsius ↔ Kelvin: K = °C + 273.15 · °C = K − 273.15

Common Temperature Conversions

  • -40°C = -40°F

  • 0°C = 32°F (freezing point of water)

  • 20°C = 68°F (room temperature)

  • 37°C = 98.6°F (human body)

  • 100°C = 212°F (boiling point of water)

FAQs

  • Is Celsius the same as Centigrade?
    Yes. “Centigrade” is an older name for Celsius; they refer to the same scale.

  • What is Kelvin used for?
    Kelvin (K) is the SI unit used in science and engineering; 0 K is absolute zero.

  • Quick mental tip:
    To estimate °F from °C, double the value and add 30 (rough approximation).
