How to Convert Temperature
Temperature conversion is essential for travel, science, and cooking. The Celsius (°C) scale, used globally, is based on water's properties. The Fahrenheit (°F) scale is primarily used in the United States and some Caribbean countries.
Celsius to Fahrenheit Formula
To convert °C to °F, multiply by 1.8 and add 32:
°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
Fahrenheit to Celsius Formula
To convert °F to °C, subtract 32 and multiply by 5/9:
°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
Quick Temperature Facts
- Freezing point of water: 0°C or 32°F
- Boiling point of water: 100°C or 212°F
- Body temperature: 37°C or 98.6°F
- Absolute Zero: -273.15°C or -459.67°F
Common Questions
To convert Celsius (°C) to Fahrenheit (°F), you need to multiply the temperature by 1.8 (or 9/5) and then add 32. For example, to convert 20°C: (20 × 1.8) + 32 = 68°F.
To convert Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C), subtract 32 from the temperature and multiply the result by 0.5556 (or 5/9). For example, to convert 50°F: (50 - 32) × 5/9 = 10°C.
At standard atmospheric pressure (sea level), water boils at 100°C or 212°F. Understanding this helps calibrate thermometers and cook accurately.
Yes! The two scales intersect at -40 degrees. This means -40°C is exactly the same as -40°F.
Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature where all molecular motion stops. It is defined as 0 Kelvin, which equals -273.15°C or -459.67°F.
