Full Description
Celsius is the everyday metric temperature scale. Converting it to Fahrenheit helps when reading US-based forecasts, while Kelvin and Rankine are indispensable for scientific work involving absolute temperature.
This converter keeps all conversions in one place, reducing the chance of mistakes when toggling between formulas or online tools.
For quick mental math: °C to °F roughly doubles plus 30, but this tool provides exact figures for precision tasks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why include Rankine?
Rankine is the Fahrenheit-based absolute scale, used in some engineering fields. It complements Kelvin for thermodynamics.
Can I convert negative values?
Yes. The formulas work for temperatures below freezing, including cryogenic ranges.
Does it support Fahrenheit to Celsius?
Use the temperature conversion tool for any-to-any conversions, or the dedicated Celsius to Fahrenheit page.
What about “Centigrade”?
Centigrade is an older name for Celsius. Use the Centigrade to Celsius converter for an explanation.
