Understanding Body Temperature — Complete Guide

Body temperature is one of the most important indicators of health. It shows how well the body regulates heat and responds to internal or external changes…

🌞 Why Temperature Matters

Your body constantly balances heat production and loss. When you have a fever, your immune system is fighting infection; when you’re cold, the body preserves warmth by constricting blood flow.

📏 Common Units Explained

Celsius (°C) is used worldwide for medical and daily use.
Fahrenheit (°F) remains common in the U.S.
Kelvin (K) is scientific and starts at absolute zero.
Rankine (°R) is used in engineering systems.

💡 Conversion Examples

• 37°C = 98.6°F (normal body temperature)
• 100°F = 37.8°C
• 0°C = 273.15K
• 212°F = 373.15K

🩺 When to Seek Medical Help

Seek attention if your temperature exceeds 40°C (104°F), or if you have persistent fever, confusion, or chills.

⚙️ How This Converter Works

The script converts the input temperature to Kelvin internally, then translates it to the target unit. This ensures accuracy and consistency across all conversions.

📚 Final Note

Body temperature reflects your health. Use this converter to interpret readings correctly and consult a healthcare professional if anything feels off.
