Degrees Celsius – the scale, most widespread in the majority of the countries, for measurement of temperature. However in America and in Jamaica the Fahrenheit scale is still used. In science, especially when studying ultralow temperatures Calvin's scale, as a rule, is applied. For transfer of these values to degrees Celsius there are simple formulas.

Instruction
1. To transfer temperature set in Kelvins to degrees Celsius take away from it number 273.15. That is use a simple formula: Shopping center = Shopping mall – 273.15, where: Shopping center – the number of degrees Celsius, Shopping mall – the number of Kelvins.
2. At the same time pay attention that the size of Shopping mall was non-negative, and the value of Shopping center did not appear less-273.15º. Violation of any of these rules unambiguously testifies to a mistake in calculations or measurements. Degrees Celsius are designated as "ºС", and Kelvins – "To". The name "degrees Kelvin" distributed still (ºК) is outdated as officially it is not used since 1968.
3. If temperature is set in degrees Fahrenheit, then for the translation it in Celsius subtract number 32 from a preset value and increase this difference by 5/9. If calculation is made on the calculator, then instead of multiplication on 5/9 divide a difference into 1.8. In the form of a formula this rule looks as follows: Shopping center = (Tf-32) * 5/9 ilitts = (Tf-32)/1.8, where Tf – the number of degrees Fahrenheit. As unit of measure of Fahrenheit temperature serves the degree Fahrenheit which is designated as ºF.
4. To estimate correctness of the translation of temperature from degrees Fahrenheit at degrees Celsius, be guided by the following typical indicators: +32 °F - an ice thawing point; +212 °F - water boiling temperature; +100 °F - temperature of a human body. On the fact that +100 °F according to a formula correspond +37.78 ºС do not pay special attention – just the wife of Fahrenheit was too hot woman …
5. Not to get confused in calculations, use for transfer of temperature to degrees Celsius by numerous online services, for example: www.convertr.ru or http://2mb.ru/konverter-velichin/temperatura/. Choose the name of physical quantity (temperature), specify the set unit of measure and enter numerical value. Essential advantage of online services is not only the convenience and speed of calculation, but also an opportunity to transfer temperature set on exotic temperature scales to degrees Celsius. It which are practically not used now: Reaumur, Rankin, Newton, Delil, Ryomer.
