1. What is Temperature Conversion?

Temperature conversion is the process of converting temperature values between different units (Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin). This is essential in science, engineering, cooking, and international communication where different temperature scales are used.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses these fundamental formulas:

Where:

• \( C \) — Temperature in Celsius (°C)
• \( K \) — Temperature in Kelvin (K)
• \( F \) — Temperature in Fahrenheit (°F)

Explanation: Kelvin is Celsius plus 273.15 (absolute zero). Fahrenheit conversion involves scaling (9/5) and offset (+32).

3. Importance of Temperature Conversion

Details: Accurate temperature conversion is crucial for scientific experiments, weather reporting, cooking recipes, and industrial processes where precise temperature control is needed.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter temperature in Celsius (°C) and the calculator will automatically convert it to Kelvin and Fahrenheit. Supports decimal values for precision.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why are there different temperature scales?
A: Different scales were developed for different purposes - Fahrenheit for everyday use, Celsius for scientific work, and Kelvin for absolute temperature measurements.

Q2: What is absolute zero in different scales?
A: Absolute zero is -273.15°C, -459.67°F, and 0K - the theoretical lowest possible temperature.

Q3: How do I convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?
A: The reverse formula is \( C = (F - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} \).

Q4: Why does water boil at different temperatures in different scales?
A: Water boils at 100°C, 212°F, and 373.15K - these are equivalent temperatures just expressed in different units.

Q5: Which scale is used in scientific research?
A: Most scientific research uses Celsius or Kelvin, with Kelvin being preferred for thermodynamic calculations.
