  2. Fahrenheit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit

    For an exact conversion between degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius, and kelvins of a specific temperature point, the following formulas can be applied. Here, f is the value in degrees Fahrenheit, c the value in degrees Celsius, and k the value in kelvins: f °F to c °C: c = f − 32 / 1.8; c °C to f °F: f = c × 1.8 + 32; f °F to k K: k = f ...

  3. Conversion of scales of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_scales_of...

    Converting units of temperature differences (also referred to as temperature deltas) is not the same as converting absolute temperature values, and different formulae must be used. To convert a delta temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, the formula is {ΔT}°F = 9 5 {ΔT}°C. To convert a delta temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, it is 1:1 ...

  4. East Africa Time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Africa_Time

    The time zone is three hours ahead of UTC , which is the same as Moscow Time, Arabia Standard Time, Further-eastern European Time and Eastern European Summer Time. As this time zone is predominantly in the equatorial region, there is no significant change in day length throughout the year and so daylight saving time is not observed. East Africa ...

  5. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    Reversing this yields the formula for obtaining a quantity in units of Celsius from units of Fahrenheit; one could have started with the equivalence between 100 °C and 212 °F, which yields the same formula. Hence, to convert the numerical quantity value of a temperature T[F] in degrees Fahrenheit to a numerical quantity value T[C] in degrees ...

  6. Climate of Africa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Africa

    Southern Africa has a transition to subtropical and temperate climates (green and yellow), and more desert or semi-arid regions, centered on Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa. [1] A map of Africa showing the ecological break around the Sahara Desert. The climate of Africa is a range of climates such as the equatorial climate, the tropical wet ...

  7. Rømer scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rømer_scale

    1 °Rø = 40. /. 21 °C = 24. /. 7 °F. Conversion between temperature scales. The Rømer scale ( Danish pronunciation: [ˈʁœˀmɐ]; notated as °Rø ), also known as Romer or Roemer, is a temperature scale named after the Danish astronomer Ole Christensen Rømer, who developed for his own use in around 1702. It is based on the freezing point ...

  8. Heating degree day - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_degree_day

    Heating degree day. Heating degree day ( HDD) is a measurement designed to quantify the demand for energy needed to heat a building. HDD is derived from measurements of outside air temperature. The heating requirements for a given building at a specific location are considered to be directly proportional to the number of HDD at that location.

  9. Scale of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_of_temperature

    Scale of temperature. Scale of temperature is a methodology of calibrating the physical quantity temperature in metrology. Empirical scales measure temperature in relation to convenient and stable parameters or reference points, such as the freezing and boiling point of water. Absolute temperature is based on thermodynamic principles: using the ...
