What is Fahrenheit vs. Celsius?
Schnelldefinition
Two scales for temperature. Water freezes at 0°C / 32°F and boils at 100°C / 212°F. Conversion: F = C × 9/5 + 32.
Vollständige Erklärung
Fahrenheit (°F) is used in the US and a few other countries. Celsius (°C), also called centigrade, is used by virtually every other country and in science worldwide. The scales intersect at −40° (both are equal). Conversion formulas: C = (F − 32) × 5/9, F = C × 9/5 + 32. Water freezes at 0°C / 32°F and boils at 100°C / 212°F. A 1°C change equals a 1.8°F change. Body temperature is 37°C / 98.6°F. Room temperature is 20–22°C / 68–72°F. Kelvin is the scientific absolute scale: K = C + 273.15. Fahrenheit has finer granularity for everyday weather (0–100°F covers the human experience).
