Celsius Fahrenheit Rankine Centigrade Kelvin - The conversion of temperature units is different from most other unit conversions, because it is not multiplicative. This is because the zeros of various systems are set at different values.
- For example, zero degrees Centigrade is the same as 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Convert only converts the units of temperature. Use ConvertTemperature to convert the actual temperatures.
