Three different scales are used to measure temperature. The Fahrenheit scale sets the freezing point of water at 32º and the boiling point at 212°. The Celsius scale sets the freezing point at 0° and the boiling point at 100. Scientific work often uses the Kelvin scale, which has the same size units as the Celsius scale; but it sets absolute zero (0 K) at -273° on the Celsius scale. Thus, to convert between Kelvin and Celsius, use the formulas C = K-273 and K = C + 273. Also, use the following formulas to convert between Fahrenheit and Celsius: C=(F-32) and F=C+32. 5
