Units explained
Newton
The degree Newton (°N) sets the freezing point of water at 0 °N and the boiling point at 33 °N, making one degree Newton equal to exactly 100/33 kelvins (about 3.03 K) — the largest degree of any classic scale.
Devised by Isaac Newton using linseed-oil thermometers and a ladder of everyday reference points such as melting snow and the heat of the human body, published anonymously around 1701.
Never adopted for practical measurement, but historically important: Newton's idea of anchoring a scale to two reproducible fixed points directly influenced Celsius's centigrade approach four decades later.
Published by Isaac Newton in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society in London, around 1701.
Planck Temperature
The Planck temperature (T_P) is the natural unit of temperature, about 1.416784×10³² kelvins, constructed purely from the fundamental constants ħ, c, G, and k. It is widely regarded as the highest temperature at which known physics remains meaningful.
Arises from Max Planck's 1899 system of natural units, which combines the speed of light, the gravitational constant, the reduced Planck constant, and the Boltzmann constant into universal base quantities independent of any human artifact.
Cosmology and quantum-gravity research, where it marks the temperature of the universe roughly one Planck time after the Big Bang. No laboratory process approaches even a trillionth of a trillionth of it.
Defined within Max Planck's natural-unit system proposed in Germany in 1899; the modern recommended value (1.416784×10³² K) is maintained by the CODATA fundamental-constants adjustment.
Newton to Planck Temperature conversion formula
Note: this conversion uses the CODATA recommended value of the Planck temperature (1.416784×10³² K), which carries a small experimental uncertainty from the gravitational constant G.
The exact relationship between degrees newton and planck temperatures:
To convert degrees newton to planck temperatures, multiply the value by 2.13886e-32, then add 1.927958e-30. To reverse, multiply the value by 4.675387e+31, then subtract 90.1395.
Reference anchors: water freezes at 0 °N = 1.927958e-30 T_P and boils at 33 °N = 2.633782e-30 T_P (at standard atmospheric pressure).

Step-by-step: convert degrees newton to planck temperatures
- Write down the temperature in degrees newton (°N).
- Multiply the value by 2.13886e-32, then add 1.927958e-30.
- The result is the same temperature expressed in planck temperatures (T_P).
- To reverse, multiply the value by 4.675387e+31, then subtract 90.1395 — or open the Planck Temperature to Newton converter.
Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 12.21 °N to T_P (human body temperature):
(12.21 × 2.13886e-32) + 1.927958e-30 = 2.189113e-30 T_P
Example 2 — Convert 33 °N to T_P (the boiling point of water):
(33 × 2.13886e-32) + 1.927958e-30 = 2.633782e-30 T_P
