What is the formula for converting temperature?

If you know the temperature in Fahrenheit and want to convert it to Celsius, first subtract 32 from the temperature in Fahrenheit and multiply the result by five/ninth. The formula is: C = 5/9 x (F-32) where C is Celsius. To clarify the idea, use an example.

What units are used to measure temperature?

The SI unit of temperature is the Kelvin. Although the Celsius temperature scale is also used, it is considered a derived SI unit and is generally used to measure everyday temperatures.

What is the standard unit for temperature?

The standard temperature for metric measurement is 15 degrees Celsius (i.e. 59 degrees Fahrenheit) while for English measurement the standard temperature is 60 °F. Gas undergoes a slight expansion when the temperature is raised from 15 °C (59 °F) to 60 °F and this expansion is built into the above factor for gas.
