Temperature Conversions Project

Celsius to Fahrenheit, Kelvin, and Rankine Temperature Converter

Quickly convert temperature!

Welcome to TemperatureConversions.Org where you can easily convert temperature with this handy Temperature Converter:

Plug in your temperature, choose temperature scales and convert!



This tool allows you to convert temperature across four main temperature scales: Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, and Rankine. The online temperature conversion calculator uses standard temperature conversion formulas to calculate the results. The converted temperature results can be trusted for educational, scientific and personal uses.

Formulas used for Temperature Conversion:

Fahrenheit = Celsius * 9 / 5 + 32

Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15

Rankine = Fahrenheit + 459.6

  1. I would like to know on for the other temp.other then C,F,K did they come up the names and who were the people that the names came from

  2. This is a most useful site but simply question the
    graphic:-

    0c water freezes 32f
    when we have been told by the BBC and others, and I have to agree, that it is more accurate to infer:
    0c ice begins to melt 32f

    Up and not Down!

    While writing I’m minded of John Cage’s 4’33″ which is not only confirmation of absolute zero (273secs/deg) but is more remarkable for an American adhering to Celsius in, er, 1951 when 60 years later the USA is only 1 of 4 nations still using Fahrenheit in general daily use.

    Moreover how long before Kelvin is a world-wide name?

    Meanwhile this site is greatly appreciated.

  3. Hi David,

    Thanks for the feedback, we have posted a comprehensive guide covering the names of people behind 3 major temperature scales along with examples for temperature conversion across these scales.

  4. Hi Tony,

    Thank for your feedback, the Kelvin scale of temperature is the most recent and it is also the scale that is most commonly used in science, particularly in the physical sciences. The Celsius scale is still used a lot in many areas of science, but it is the Kelvin that is the main SI unit for temperature. Measurements may be referred to as Kelvin or using the symbol K.

    This scale was named after the physicist William Thomson, who was the 1st Baron Kelvin. His title derives from the name of a river near the university of Glasgow, where he worked. It was Lord Kelvin who first wrote of the need for an absolute scale of temperature. He pursued some important work in thermodynamics and he recognized the fact that there must be a lower limit beyond which the temperature could not drop. Thus, he created the idea of absolute zero. The Kelvin scale was named in his honor.
