Temperature scale conversions

    Figure: Temperature scale conversions

    Caption: The Alien. William Thomson, Lord Kelvin (1824--1907) and a thermometer.

    Further explication:

    The Temperature scale conversions are:

    1. Celsius to Kelvin: T_K = T_C + 273.15
    2. Kelvin to Celsius: T_C = T_K - 273.15
    3. Celsius to Fahrenheit: T_F = T_C*1.8 + 32
    4. Fahrenheit to Celsius: T_C = (5/9)*(T_F-32)

    Recall 0 K = -273.15 C is absolute zero.

    The Kelvin scale and Celsius scale are both included in the Metric System.
