The Celsius Scale

The Celsius scale is based on the freezing point (0°C) and boiling point (100°C) of water at standard atmospheric pressure.

The Fahrenheit Scale

The Fahrenheit scale was developed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit and uses 32°F as the freezing point of water and 212°F as the boiling point.

Conversion Formula

The formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32

And to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius: °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
