minus-squaretaiyang@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down5·8 months agoYeah, I know. It still moves the zero point and forces it out of ratio, but I prefer it. I know both F and C since I have to use both regularly. F is set to C, too, I think. F = 1.8c + 36, I think?
minus-squarehessenjungelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down1·8 months agoNo, it just moves the zero point, no ratio change: 0°C = 273,15 K / just a simple addition/subtraction. Colloquially you can also ignore the 0,15 and make it even simpler.
minus-squaretaiyang@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months agoOh yeah, you’re right, it’s just Kelvin on a F scale. I shouldn’t look at formulas at 2am when I should be sleeping, lol
