Temperature Measurement of the average kinetic energy of the particles which make up an object. Fahrenheit Water boils at 212 F Water freezes at 32 F Celsius Water boils at 100 C Water freezes at 0 C
Kelvin All particles at their lowest possible energy state Water boils at K Water freezes at K
How to convert between Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin Convert between Fahrenheit and Celsius F = 1.8(⁰C) + 32 To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius all you have to do is put the Celsius temperature into the equation. If it is 22 C⁰ what is in ⁰F? ⁰F = 1.8(22) + 32 ⁰F = ⁰F = 71.6
Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius It is 100⁰ F how warm is it in Celsius? C = F C = 100 – = ⁰C
Your chance to practice 21⁰C = ⁰F 100⁰C = ⁰F ⁰C = 90⁰F
Converting to Kelvin To convert from Celsius to Kelvin You add 273 to the Celsius temperature To convert from Kelvin to Celsius You subtract 273
