How it works

Temperature scales do not share a common zero point, so they cannot be converted by a single multiplier the way lengths or weights can. Each value is converted to Celsius first, then out to the scale you asked for.

Formulas

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

Kelvin has no negative values, so a conversion that would fall below absolute zero (−273.15°C) is rejected rather than returned as a meaningless number.

Frequently asked questions

What is the formula from Celsius to Fahrenheit?
Multiply the Celsius value by 9/5, then add 32.
Why does converting to Kelvin sometimes show an error?
Kelvin has no negative values — the tool rejects any input that would fall below absolute zero (-273.15°C).
