Temperature Conversion Logic (Formulas)

Temperature Conversion Logic (Formulas)

To convert temperatures between the units, we need to implement the correct conversion formulas. The formulas for converting between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin are well-known in science and are as follows:

  • Celsius to Kelvin: K = °C + 273.15
  • Kelvin to Celsius: °C = K – 273.15
  • Fahrenheit to Celsius: °C = (°F – 32) × 5/9
  • Celsius to Fahrenheit: °F = °C × 9/5 + 32
  • Fahrenheit to Kelvin: K = (°F – 32) × 5/9 + 273.15
  • Kelvin to Fahrenheit: °F = (K – 273.15) × 9/5 + 32

Using these formulas, we can convert any given temperature to the desired scale. In our app, we will implement these as JavaScript functions or within a single conversion function. For instance, if a user inputs a Fahrenheit value and wants Kelvin, our code will first convert Fahrenheit to Celsius and then Celsius to Kelvin (or directly use the Fahrenheit-to-Kelvin formula).
