What is Celsius (°C)?
Degrees Celsius (°C) is the everyday metric temperature scale: water freezes at 0 °C and boils at 100 °C at sea level. It is used almost everywhere except the United States.
What is Fahrenheit (°F)?
Degrees Fahrenheit (°F) is the temperature scale used mainly in the United States: water freezes at 32 °F and boils at 212 °F, giving 180 degrees between the two points.
Why convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?
Celsius is standard in most of the world, Fahrenheit dominates in the United States, and kelvin is the scientific scale. Recipes, weather and travel constantly require switching between them.
By international definition, water freezes at 0 °C (32 °F, 273.15 K) and boils at 100 °C (212 °F) at standard atmospheric pressure (NIST). Normal human body temperature is about 37 °C (98.6 °F).
