About Temperature Scales

Celsius (°C)

Based on the freezing point (0°C) and boiling point (100°C) of water at standard atmospheric pressure. Widely used worldwide except in the United States.

Fahrenheit (°F)

Water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F. Primarily used in the United States, Bahamas, Belize, Cayman Islands, and Palau.

Kelvin (K)

Absolute temperature scale starting at absolute zero (0 K = -273.15°C). Used extensively in science and engineering. Note: Kelvin doesn't use the degree symbol.

Rankine (°R)

Absolute scale like Kelvin but using Fahrenheit-sized degrees. Absolute zero is 0°R. Primarily used in some engineering fields in the United States.
