Frequently Asked Questions
How to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?
The formula to convert degrees Fahrenheit (F) to degrees Celsius (C) is: C = (F - 32) × 5/9
What is the conversion for some common Fahrenheit to Celsius values?
- 32 °F = 0 °C (water's freezing point)
- 68 °F = 20 °C (typical room temperature)
- 100 °F = 37.78 °C (approximately body temperature)
- 212 °F = 100 °C (water's boiling point)
Why are there different temperature scales?
The Fahrenheit scale was developed first, but the Celsius scale is more intuitive because it is based on natural points (freezing and boiling of water). The adoption of one scale or another depends on the region or context.
