Converting from Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C) | Temperature

What is Fahrenheit (°F)

Fahrenheit (°F) is a temperature scale commonly used in the United States and a few other countries. It was developed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in the early 18th century. On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32°F and the boiling point is 212°F.

What is Celsius (°C)

Celsius (°C) is the most widely used temperature scale in the world, also known as the centigrade scale. It is based on the freezing point of water at 0°C and the boiling point at 100°C. The Celsius scale is used in most countries for everyday temperature measurements.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C), you can use the formula:

C=(F−32)×95​ To convert from Celsius (°C) to Fahrenheit (°F), you can use the formula:

F=C×59​+32

Examples

1. Converting 9°F to Celsius: C=(9−32)×95​=−12.77778°C
2. Converting 16°C to Fahrenheit: F=16×59​+32=60.8°F
3. Converting 3°F to Celsius: C=(3−32)×95​=−16.11111°C
