Fahrenheit
Fahrenheit (symbol: °F) is a unit of temperature in the Imperial measurement system. On this scale, the freezing point of water is 32°F, and the boiling point is 212°F under standard atmospheric conditions.
The Fahrenheit scale was developed by German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724. He based his scale on three fixed points: the temperature of a mixture of ice and salt (0°F), the freezing point of water (32°F), and the average human body temperature (96°F, later adjusted to 98.6°F).
Fahrenheit is primarily used in the United States and a few other countries that follow the Imperial system. It is commonly used for weather forecasts, household ovens, and other temperature measurements in daily life.
Celsius (symbol: °C) is a unit of temperature in the metric system. It is based on the temperature scale where 0°C represents the freezing point of water and 100°C represents the boiling point of water at sea level.
The Celsius scale was developed by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742. Initially, he defined the scale in reverse, with 0°C as the boiling point and 100°C as the freezing point. Later, this was inverted to the current standard.
Celsius is widely used around the world, particularly in scientific contexts and in countries that follow the metric system. It is commonly used for weather reports, medical thermometers, and various scientific measurements.
To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the following formula:
Fahrenheit to Celsius: ( \text{°C} = (\text{°F} - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} )
Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius:
Use the formula: ( \text{°C} = (\text{°F} - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} )
Calculation: ( (77 - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} = 25 )°C
Example 1: If the temperature is 59°F, convert it to Celsius using the formula (59 - 32) (\times) (\frac{5}{9}) = 15°C.
Example 2: For a temperature of 95°F, convert to Celsius using the formula (95 - 32) (\times) (\frac{5}{9}) = 35°C.
100 degrees Fahrenheit is approximately 37.78 degrees Celsius. Use the formula C = (F - 32) × 5/9 to calculate.
