Frequently Asked Questions

What temperature scales can I convert?

Our temperature converter supports Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), and Kelvin (K). Convert between any of these temperature scales instantly.

What's the difference between Celsius and Fahrenheit?

Celsius is used worldwide and in science (water freezes at 0°C, boils at 100°C). Fahrenheit is used in the US (water freezes at 32°F, boils at 212°F). The scales have different zero points and degree sizes.

What temperature is the same in both Celsius and Fahrenheit?

-40 degrees is the same temperature in both Celsius and Fahrenheit scales. The conversion formulas show: -40°C = -40°F.

When should I use Kelvin temperature scale?

Kelvin is used in scientific contexts, particularly physics and thermodynamics. It's an absolute temperature scale where 0 K is absolute zero (the coldest possible temperature).

How do I convert cooking temperatures?

For baking: 350°F = 177°C, 400°F = 204°C. For general cooking: oven temperatures are often 25-50°F higher in Fahrenheit than Celsius. Always check recipes for specific temperature requirements.
