Base Unit Method

Vtarget=Vinput×FinputFtargetV_{target} = V_{input} \times \frac{F_{input}}{F_{target}}

VtargetV_{target} = Value in target unit

VinputV_{input} = Value in input unit

FinputF_{input} = Conversion factor to base

FtargetF_{target} = Conversion factor from base

Understanding Temperature Converter

Temperature Scales

Celsius (°C) is based on water's freezing (0°) and boiling (100°) points. Fahrenheit (°F) was originally based on human body temperature as 100°. Kelvin (K) is an absolute scale starting at absolute zero.

Absolute Zero

Absolute zero (-273.15°C, -459.67°F, 0K) is the theoretical temperature where all molecular motion stops. It's the foundation for the Kelvin scale, making it ideal for scientific calculations.

Weather and Climate

Most countries use Celsius for weather, while the US uses Fahrenheit. Key reference points: water freezes at 0°C/32°F, room temperature is ~20°C/68°F, and body temperature is 37°C/98.6°F.

Scientific Applications

Kelvin is used in physics and chemistry because it's an absolute scale. The Rankine scale is the absolute version of Fahrenheit, primarily used in some engineering applications.
