About these units

Celsius puts 0° at the freezing point and 100° at the boiling point of water at sea level. Fahrenheit puts them at 32° and 212°, so one Celsius degree equals 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees. Kelvin uses Celsius-sized degrees but starts at absolute zero (−273.15 °C) and is written without a degree sign. Because the scales have different zero points, a temperature conversion adds or subtracts an offset as well as scaling.

FAQ

› How do I convert °F to °C?

1 °F = -17.22222222 °C. To convert, use the formula °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9: 80 °F = 26.66666667 °C.

› What is 1 °C in °F?

1 °C = 33.8 °F. The reverse formula is °F = °C × 9/5 + 32.

› At what temperature are Celsius and Fahrenheit equal?

At −40°: −40 °C is exactly −40 °F.

› What is normal body temperature?

About 37 °C, which is 98.6 °F or 310.15 K. Normal readings vary by about half a degree Celsius.
