Relationship Between Fahrenheit and Celsius?
The conversion between Fahrenheit and Celsius is based on the exact relationship where 1 degree Fahrenheit equals 5/9 degrees Celsius minus 32 degrees offset.
1°F = (5/9)°C - 32
Therefore,
1°C = (1°F + 32) × (9/5)
Therefore, to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, we need to subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit value and multiply by 5/9.
For a 1°F temperature unit, the equivalent temperature in Celsius is 1°F = -17.22°C.
About Celsius
The Celsius scale, also known as the centigrade scale, is a temperature scale used worldwide for most temperature measurements.
Definition:
The Celsius scale is based on the freezing and boiling points of water at standard atmospheric pressure.
Key Reference Points:
- 0°C = Freezing point of water
- 100°C = Boiling point of water
- 37°C = Normal human body temperature
- 20°C = Room temperature
- -273.15°C = Absolute zero
Scale Characteristics:
- 100-degree interval between freezing and boiling water
- Positive values above freezing
- Negative values below freezing
- Decimal precision for accurate measurements
About Fahrenheit
The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale primarily used in the United States and a few other countries for everyday temperature measurements.
Definition:
The Fahrenheit scale is based on the freezing and boiling points of water, with 32°F as the freezing point and 212°F as the boiling point.
Key Reference Points:
- 32°F = Freezing point of water
- 212°F = Boiling point of water
- 98.6°F = Normal human body temperature
- 68°F = Room temperature
- -459.67°F = Absolute zero
Scale Characteristics:
- 180-degree interval between freezing and boiling water
- Positive values above freezing
- Negative values below freezing
- Smaller degree intervals for precise measurements
Historical Background:
- Developed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724
- Originally based on three fixed points
- Still widely used in the United States
- Common in some engineering applications
