Celsius (°C) to Fahrenheit (°F) Conversion

Celsius

The Celsius scale sets 0 °C at the freezing point of water and 100 °C at its boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure. Proposed by Anders Celsius in 1742, it became the international standard for scientific and everyday temperature measurement in all countries that have adopted SI. The Celsius degree is identical in magnitude to the Kelvin, so temperature differences in Celsius and Kelvin are numerically equivalent, though their zeros differ by exactly 273.15.

Fahrenheit

The Fahrenheit scale was developed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724 and sets the freezing point of water at 32 °F and the boiling point at 212 °F, creating a 180-degree interval exactly 9/5 of the Celsius interval. Today the Fahrenheit scale is the official temperature scale of the United States and several Caribbean nations.
