Fahrenheit

68.0 °F

20.0°C is 20.0 °C, 68.0 °F and 293.15 K.

Celsius
20.00 °C
Fahrenheit
68.00 °F
Kelvin
293.15 K

Handy anchors: −40° is the same in both scales, 0 °C = 32 °F (freezing), 37 °C = 98.6 °F (body), 100 °C = 212 °F (boiling).

How it works

Type a temperature, say which scale it is in, and all three scales appear together. Handy for weather forecasts abroad, oven settings from foreign recipes and science homework.

°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32 K = °C + 273.15

Example: 20 °C is 68 °F. A 180 °C oven is 356 °F, and a 38 °C fever is 100.4 °F.

Questions people ask

What is the quick way to estimate Celsius to Fahrenheit?

Double it and add 30. For 20 °C that gives 70 against a true 68 — close enough for deciding what to wear.

At what temperature are Celsius and Fahrenheit the same?

−40. It is the one point where the two scales cross.

Why does Kelvin have no degree sign?

Kelvin is an absolute scale measured from absolute zero, so its values are written as plain numbers: 300 K, not 300 °K.
