Temperature is a measure of the hotness or coldness of an object or the environment. It represents the average kinetic energy of the particles within a substance or system. Temperature is an important physical quantity used in various fields, including science, engineering, and everyday life.
Below is a table showcasing various units of temperature and their common conversions:
| Unit Name | Unit Symbol | Conversion to Kelvin |
|---|---|---|
| Kelvin | K | 1 Kelvin |
| Celsius | °C | Celsius = Kelvin - 273.15 |
| Fahrenheit | °F | °F = (K − 273.15) × 9/5 + 32 |
| Rankine | °R | Rankine = Kelvin × 9/5 |
Kelvin
Kelvin as in absolute scale where 0 K is absolute zero. It's developed from the Celcius scale where 273.15 K = 0 °C
Celsius
Named after Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius. The scale is based on the freezing point (0 °C) and boiling point (100 °C) of water
