Conversion Formulas Used
For transparency, here are the exact formulas we use:
- Celsius to Fahrenheit: (°C × 9/5) + 32 = °F
- Fahrenheit to Celsius: (°F - 32) × 5/9 = °C
- Celsius to Kelvin: °C + 273.15 = K
- Kelvin to Celsius: K - 273.15 = °C
- Celsius to Rankine: (°C + 273.15) × 9/5 = °R
- Rankine to Celsius: (°R × 5/9) - 273.15 = °C
All results are rounded to 2 decimal places for readability.
