Temperature is how hot or cold an object or a region is. The SI unit for temperature is the Kelvin; other commonly used scaled are Celsius and Fahrenheit.

To convert a given temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, use the following equation: F=9×C/5+32, where F denotes the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and C is the the temperature in degrees Celsius.

To convert a temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, use the equation: K=C+273.15 This article is a stub. Help us out by expanding it.
