Question 1

What is the difference between metric and imperial?

Accepted Answer

Metric (SI) uses base-10 units — metres, kilograms, litres — and is the worldwide scientific standard. Imperial uses miles, pounds, gallons, and is mainly used in the US and a few other countries. This converter handles both.

Question 2

How accurate are the conversions?

Accepted Answer

They use standard mathematical conversion factors with full floating-point precision. For everyday use — cooking, travel, DIY — the accuracy is more than sufficient.

Question 3

Why are there two kinds of tons?

Accepted Answer

A metric ton (tonne) is 1 000 kg. A US (short) ton is about 907 kg. The converter treats them as separate units so you always get the right result.

Question 4

Is temperature conversion linear?

Accepted Answer

Celsius ↔ Kelvin is a simple offset (K = °C + 273.15). Celsius ↔ Fahrenheit uses a multiplier and an offset: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. The converter handles both formulas automatically.
