Frequently Asked Questions
The Celsius and Fahrenheit scales intersect at -40 degrees (i.e., -40°C is equal to -40°F).
Yes, a 1-degree change in Celsius is equivalent to a 1.8-degree change in Fahrenheit. The Celsius scale has 100 degrees between freezing and boiling points, while Fahrenheit has 180 degrees.
A typical comfortable indoor temperature range is often considered to be between 20°C to 24°C (68°F to 75°F).
It helps travelers quickly understand weather forecasts in different units, allowing them to pack appropriate clothing and plan activities without confusion.
Yes, temperatures like 37°C (98.6°F) are considered normal body temperature, while temperatures significantly above (fever) or below (hypothermia) can indicate medical conditions.
Kelvin is an absolute scale because its zero point (0 K) is absolute zero, the theoretical point where all molecular motion stops. It does not have negative values.
While air pressure doesn’t directly affect the reading on a thermometer (which measures the kinetic energy of molecules), it does affect phenomena like boiling points, where a lower pressure means water boils at a lower temperature. This converter focuses purely on numerical conversion between scales.
