Temperature Converter Frequently Asked Questions

What are the formulas for temperature conversion?

Celsius to Fahrenheit: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. Fahrenheit to Celsius: °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9. Celsius to Kelvin: K = °C + 273.15. These formulas provide precise conversions between all three temperature scales.

Why can't I enter temperatures below absolute zero?

Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature where molecular motion stops. It's -273.15°C, -459.67°F, or 0 K. Temperatures below this are physically impossible, so the converter validates against these limits to ensure scientifically accurate results.

When should I use Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin?

Celsius is used in most countries and scientific contexts. Fahrenheit is primarily used in the United States for everyday temperatures. Kelvin is the SI unit used in scientific research, especially physics and chemistry, because it starts at absolute zero and has no negative values.

How accurate are the conversions?

Our converter uses precise mathematical formulas with up to 4 decimal places for input and 2 decimal places for output. This provides scientific-grade accuracy suitable for professional use, educational purposes, and everyday applications.
