## What is Temperature Conversion?

Temperature conversion is the process of converting temperature values between different scales. The three most common temperature scales are Celsius (used in most countries), Fahrenheit (used primarily in the US), and Kelvin (used in scientific applications). Unlike length or weight conversions, temperature conversions require both multiplication and addition operations because the scales have different zero points. Our temperature converter makes these calculations instant and accurate, essential for weather understanding, cooking, science, and international communication.

// Temperature Scales Explained

export const Celsius (°C)

// Also known as centigrade, this scale sets 0°C as the freezing point of water and 100°C as its boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure. Used by most countries worldwide for weather, cooking, and everyday temperature references.

export const Fahrenheit (°F)

// Sets 32°F as the freezing point of water and 212°F as its boiling point. Primarily used in the United States for weather forecasts, cooking, and everyday temperature references. Normal human body temperature is about 98.6°F.

export const Kelvin (K)

// The SI unit of temperature used in scientific applications. Starts at absolute zero (-273.15°C), the coldest possible temperature. Has the same increment size as Celsius but no negative values. Used in physics, chemistry, and astronomy.

## Frequently Asked Questions

01 ### Q: What is the formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?

/**

°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. For example, 25°C = (25 × 9/5) + 32 = 77°F. For reverse conversion: °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9.

*/

02 ### Q: What is absolute zero?

/**

Absolute zero is 0 Kelvin, equal to -273.15°C or -459.67°F. It is the theoretical lowest possible temperature where all molecular motion stops. Nothing can be colder than absolute zero.

*/

03 ### Q: Why does the US use Fahrenheit instead of Celsius?

/**

The US adopted Fahrenheit before the metric system became widespread. While most countries switched to Celsius in the 20th century, the US retained Fahrenheit for everyday use due to familiarity and the cost of switching.
