Celsius to Fahrenheit Conversion Information
Converting between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) is common when dealing with temperature measurements from different regions or systems. The Celsius scale is used in most countries worldwide, while Fahrenheit is primarily used in the United States.
How to Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, use the following formula:
°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
Celsius to Fahrenheit Conversion Table
| Celsius (°C) | Fahrenheit (°F) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| -40°C | -40°F | Equal temperature point |
| -30°C | -22°F | Extremely cold |
| -20°C | -4°F | Very cold |
| -10°C | 14°F | Cold winter day |
| 0°C | 32°F | Freezing point of water |
| 10°C | 50°F | Cool |
| 20°C | 68°F | Room temperature |
| 30°C | 86°F | Hot |
| 37°C | 98.6°F | Average body temperature |
| 40°C | 104°F | Very hot |
| 100°C | 212°F | Boiling point of water |
Common Celsius to Fahrenheit Conversions
- 0°C = 32°F (freezing point of water)
- 20°C = 68°F (room temperature)
- 37°C = 98.6°F (normal body temperature)
- 100°C = 212°F (boiling point of water at sea level)
About Celsius
The Celsius scale, also known as centigrade, is a temperature scale used by the International System of Units (SI). It was defined by setting 0°C as the freezing point of water and 100°C as the boiling point of water, both at standard atmospheric pressure.
About Fahrenheit
The Fahrenheit scale is primarily used in the United States. On this scale, the freezing point of water is 32°F and the boiling point is 212°F at standard atmospheric pressure, creating a 180-degree separation.
