How to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius

0 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to -17.77778 degrees Celsius:

0 °F = -17.77778 °C

The temperature T in degrees Celsius (°C) is equal to the temperature T in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) minus 32, times 5/9:

T_(°C) = (T_(°F) - 32) × 5/9   OR

T_(°C) = (T_(°F) - 32) / 1.8  OR

T_(°C) = (T_(°F) - 32) / (9/5)

Example (Fahrenheit to Celsius)

Convert 32 °F to °C:

T_(°C) = (32°F - 32) × 5/9 = 0 °C

Convert 64 °F to °C:

T_(°C) = (64°F - 32) × 5/9 = 17.77 °C

Convert 96 °F to °C:

T_(°C) = (96°F - 32) × 5/9 = 35.55 °C

Convert 68 °F to °C:

T_(°C) = (68°F - 32) × 5/9 = 20 °C

Convert 118 °F to °C:

T_(°C) = (118°F - 32) × 5/9 = 47.77 °C

Convert 140 °F to °C:

T_(°C) = (140°F - 32) × 5/9 = 60 °C

What is Fahrenheit?

"Fahrenheit" is a temperature scale commonly used in some countries, particularly the United States, for measuring temperature. It was developed by the Polish-German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in the early 18th century.

In the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is defined as 32 degrees Fahrenheit (°F), and the boiling point of water is defined as 212°F, under standard atmospheric conditions. The interval between these two points is divided into 180 equal parts, called degrees.

Fahrenheit is one of the three most widely used temperature scales, alongside Celsius (also known as Centigrade) and Kelvin. The Celsius scale is used in most parts of the world and is the standard unit of temperature measurement in scientific contexts. However, the Fahrenheit scale is still prevalent in the United States for everyday temperature references, weather reports, and discussions of weather conditions.

What is Celsius?

"Celsius," also known as "Centigrade," is a temperature scale used for measuring temperature in many parts of the world. It is named after the Swedish astronomer and physicist Anders Celsius, who developed the scale in the mid-18th century.

In the Celsius scale, the freezing point of water is defined as 0 degrees Celsius (°C), and the boiling point of water is defined as 100°C, under standard atmospheric conditions. The interval between these two points is divided into 100 equal parts, called degrees.

The Celsius scale is widely used in scientific and everyday contexts internationally, except in the United States where the Fahrenheit scale is more commonly used for temperature references. It's the standard unit of temperature measurement in most countries and is often utilized in scientific research, weather reports, and various industrial applications.
