About temperature units

Temperature scales do not share a zero point, so you cannot convert them by multiplying alone. Celsius to Fahrenheit is F = C × 9/5 + 32, and Celsius to Kelvin is K = C + 273.15.

Two useful reference points: −40 is the same in Celsius and Fahrenheit, and a comfortable room is about 20–22 °C or 68–72 °F.

Temperature unit definitions

Degree Celsius (°C)
On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 °C and boils at 100 °C at sea level. Almost every country uses it for weather and cooking.
Degree Fahrenheit (°F)
On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 °F and boils at 212 °F. It is the everyday scale in the United States.
Kelvin (K)
The kelvin is the SI unit of temperature. It starts at absolute zero, so 0 K is −273.15 °C, and one kelvin is the same size as one degree Celsius.
Degree Rankine (°R)
The Rankine scale starts at absolute zero, like the kelvin, but uses degrees the size of Fahrenheit degrees. It appears in some US engineering work.
