What Universal Unit Converter does, with a checked example
Type a number, pick the unit you have, pick the unit you want, and this page converts it across seven categories - length, weight, volume, area, speed, temperature, and time - drawing on a catalog of more than 500 units. Common pairs like miles to kilometers and pounds to kilograms sit next to nautical miles, imperial pints, and furlongs. Two things catch people out. Temperature does not convert by a single factor: the scales have different zero points, so you cannot multiply your way from Fahrenheit to Celsius. And several unit names come in US and imperial versions, so 'a gallon' is not one fixed amount.
Worked example
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
Convert 37 °C to °F
->
Expected output
37 °C = 98.6 °F
The two scales share neither zero nor degree size, so the converter applies the offset formula °F = (9/5) * °C + 32. Here 37 * 1.8 = 66.6 and 66.6 + 32 = 98.6, which is why normal body temperature is 98.6 °F. A plain factor of 1.8 would have returned 66.6, so the offset is what makes the temperature category different from every other one.
