Celsius

Definition: Celsius is a metric temperature scale on which water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees, at standard atmospheric pressure.

History/origin: The scale was proposed by Anders Celsius in 1742, originally with the values reversed from today's convention.

Current use: Celsius is the standard for everyday and scientific temperature measurement in almost every country except the United States.

Fahrenheit

Definition: Fahrenheit is a temperature scale on which water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees, at standard atmospheric pressure.

History/origin: The scale was proposed by physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724, originally based on a brine solution's freezing point as zero.

Current use: Fahrenheit remains the everyday standard for weather and home temperature in the United States, though most of the world uses Celsius.

How to Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit

°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9

Example: convert 20°C to °F:
20°C = (20 × 9/5) + 32 = 68°F
