In real life, you might be in a country where temperature is reported in Celsius and you will want to convert. There is a chart below the converter and formulae that displays at a glance the important ranges of each scale. Set Points Fahrenheit Celsius Kelvin water boils 212 100 373 body temperature 98.6 37 310 water freezes 32 0 273 absolute zero -460 -273 0 There will be times when you need to be able to convert a temperature from one scale to another. The formulas can teach the process and the converter will make your life easier. Though two of the five scales are not considered popular, there are still situations and applications that use them. Fahrenheit and Kelvin are equal at 574.25. We have also created a temperature converter from those formulae, for your (Type 'A' personality QUICK) use. Fahrenheit is a relative scale and does have degrees. This shows the formulae also and has the calculator, but the methodology of display is quite different.) We have created a chart of the formulas needed to convert temperature to and from Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, Réaumur, and Rankine. Remember that you should not use degrees when measuring the temperature in Kelvin. The Kelvin temperature in this example is 373 K.
(If your are NOT a Type 'A' personality and want to get some additional explanations of the formulae and calculations, more text intense version. Write down the formula for converting Kelvin to Fahrenheit. This is the lean and chart oriented version of the temperature converter and related formulae.
