This guide helps you easily convert between various temperature units used in science, engineering, and everyday life. Whether you're working with Fahrenheit (°F), Celsius (°C), Kelvin (K), or Rankine (°R), this tutorial provides the formulas and examples you need to make accurate conversions.
In the sections below, you will find detailed explanations and step-by-step examples for converting between different temperature units.
Formula: Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) * 5/9
Example: Convert 68°F to Celsius.
Solution: (68°F - 32) * 5/9 = 20°C
Formula: Fahrenheit = Celsius * 9/5 + 32
Example: Convert 20°C to Fahrenheit.
Solution: (20°C * 9/5) + 32 = 68°F
Formula: Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15
Example: Convert 20°C to Kelvin.
Solution: 20°C + 273.15 = 293.15 K
Formula: Celsius = Kelvin - 273.15
Example: Convert 300 K to Celsius.
Solution: 300 K - 273.15 = 26.85°C
Formula: Rankine = Fahrenheit + 459.67
Example: Convert 68°F to Rankine.
Solution: 68°F + 459.67 = 527.67 °R
Formula: Fahrenheit = Rankine - 459.67
Example: Convert 527.67 °R to Fahrenheit.
Solution: 527.67 °R - 459.67 = 68°F
