Celsius to Fahrenheit Conversions

Celsius
Fahrenheit

Temperature around the world is measured in two different values – Degree Celsius and Degree Fahrenheit. And even though there are a few more values that are used to measure temperature, these two are the most popular and commonly used values in all forms and sectors.

While Fahrenheit is used across the United States, Celsius is used across the rest of the world. There is a fundamental difference between the two values where water freezes at zero degrees Celsius and boils and 100 degrees, the Fahrenheit readings point at 32 degrees for freezing water and 212 degrees for boiling.

On the face of it, the difference seems quite basic and it seems that it will be really easy to convert the values from Celsius to Fahrenheit, but it is slightly more complicated than that. This is the reason why an easy formula has been devised to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit that makes the job easy for even the layman.

Let’s learn more about Celsius and Fahrenheit

Temperature is measured in a definite value that denotes the degree of hot or cold and Celsius (denoted as o C) and Fahrenheit (denoted as o F) are the two popular modes of a temperature scale. Fahrenheit was named after German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit and initially measured the temperature through mercury thermometers. Meanwhile, the Celsius scale was named after Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius. It was initially termed as Centigrade but later became popular as Celsius.

Temperature Conversion Formula from Celsius Temperature Scale into Fahrenheit Scale

While you can use our online calculator to convert Celsius into Fahrenheit, you can also use this formula for the conversion:

Let’s take 20 Degree Celsius as the value

F = (C X 9/5) + 32

= (20 X 9/5) + 32

= 36 + 32

= 68 o F

It’s as simple as that.

Frequently asked questions about converting temperatures from Celsius to Fahrenheit

What is the formula to convert Celsius(C) into Fahrenheit(F)?

The simplest way of converting Celsius into Fahrenheit is to use our online calculator, but if you wish to do it yourself, you can use this formula:

F = C X (9/5) + 32

So, if you wished to convert 20 C to F, the formula is:

F = 20 X (9/5) + 32

= (20 X 9/5) + 32

= 36 + 32

= 68 F

What is the difference between Celsius and Fahrenheit as measuring the temperature?

Celsius (formerly known as Centigrade Scale) and Fahrenheit scale are the two most common temperature scale to measure temperature. While Fahrenheit is used in the US, Celsius is used in the rest of the world.

The basic difference is that the value at which water freezes in Celsius is Zero degrees, it is 32 in Fahrenheit.

And the boiling temperature in Celsius for water is 100 degrees and 212 in Fahrenheit.

Celsius and Fahrenheit were named after Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742 and German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724 respectively, and since they have been widely used for measuring temperature across the world.
