The most widely used scale in the world. 0°C is the freezing point of water, 100°C is the boiling point.
Used in the United States. 32°F is the freezing point of water, 212°F is the boiling point.
The absolute scale for science. 0K = -273.15°C (absolute zero).
°F = °C × 9/5 + 32
°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9
K = °C + 273.15
