Fahrenheit and Celsius temperatures
Fahrenheit and Celsius are two different scales used to measure temperature.
**Celsius (°C)**:
- The Celsius scale is based on the freezing point of water at 0 degrees and the boiling point at 100 degrees under standard atmospheric conditions.
- It is commonly used in most parts of the world and in scientific contexts.
**Fahrenheit (°F)**:
- The Fahrenheit scale defines the freezing point of water as 32 degrees and the boiling point as 212 degrees.
- It is primarily used in the United States and a few other countries.
### Conversion Formulas:
- To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit:
\[
°F = (°C \times \frac{9}{5}) + 32
\]
- To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius:
\[
°C = (°F - 32) \times \frac{5}{9}
\]
### Example Conversions:
- **Celsius to Fahrenheit**:
- 0°C = (0 × 9/5) + 32 = 32°F (freezing point of water)
- 100°C = (100 × 9/5) + 32 = 212°F (boiling point of water)
- **Fahrenheit to Celsius**:
- 32°F = (32 - 32) × 5/9 = 0°C (freezing point of water)
- 212°F = (212 - 32) × 5/9 = 100°C (boiling point of water)
