Kelvin (K)

Kelvin is the standard temperature unit in physics, engineering, and scientific research. Unlike Celsius and Fahrenheit, Kelvin starts at absolute zero (0 K) — the lowest possible temperature, where molecular motion nearly stops. The Kelvin scale is closely aligned with Celsius: a change of 1°C equals a change of 1 K, but Kelvin has no degree symbol.

Kelvin is essential when dealing with thermodynamics, laboratory experiments, and space science. When converting between Kelvin and Celsius or Fahrenheit, a digital converter helps maintain precision in calculations.

Celsius (°C)

Celsius is one of the most widely used temperature scales around the world. It’s part of the metric system and is based on the properties of water: 0°C is the freezing point and 100°C is the boiling point. This makes Celsius convenient for everyday weather reporting, science classes, cooking temperatures, and climate data.

Because it aligns with the metric system, Celsius works smoothly with other scientific units and is the default scale in most countries. Converting Celsius to Fahrenheit or Kelvin is easy with a temperature converter, ensuring quick and accurate results.
