Temperature Conversion Information
Temperature conversions are routinely used in everyday life and in scientific applications. The three most common temperature scales are:
- Celsius (°C): Used in most countries around the world. Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C at standard pressure.
- Fahrenheit (°F): Commonly used in the United States. Water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F at standard pressure.
- Kelvin (K): The SI unit of temperature used in scientific contexts. 0K represents absolute zero, the theoretical lowest possible temperature.
Fun fact: -40° is the only temperature that is the same in both Celsius and Fahrenheit!
