Celsius and Fahrenheit are two different systems of units used to measure temperature. Each system has a different set of reference points used to display temperature.

Celsius
  • The Celsius temperature system sets the freezing point of water at 0 degrees Celsius and the boiling point at 100 degrees Celsius.
  • It's in everyday use in most of the world's countries and is widely applied in scientific research.
  • Celsius was introduced in 1742 by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius.
Fahrenheit
  • The Fahrenheit temperature system sets the freezing point of water at 32 degrees and the boiling point at 212 degrees.
  • The Fahrenheit system is used primarily in the United States and some parts of the Caribbean.
  • It was developed around 1714 by German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit.
Conversion formulas
The formula to convert between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures is as follows
  • Celsius to Fahrenheit conversionFahrenheit = ( Celsius × 9 / 5 ) + 32
  • Fahrenheit to Celsius conversionCelsius = ( Fahrenheit − 32 ) × 5 / 9

These conversion formulas make it easy to convert from one temperature system to another.
