The Mysteries of Heat
When measuring heat, we've got Fahrenheit taking 180 steps, Celsius counting 100, and Kelvin just tagging along.
Fahrenheit is a temperature scale where water freezes at 32 °F and boils at 212 °F, dividing the range into 180 parts. Celsius, part of the metric system, defines 0 °C as the freezing point and 100 °C as the boiling point of water, creating 100 equal intervals between these two points. Kelvin, the scientific standard for temperature measurement, starts at absolute zero (-273.15 °C), representing the lowest possible energy state of matter, and increments linearly with Celsius but without degrees, meaning a change of 1 K equals a change of 1 °C.
Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius
F = (C * 1.8) + 32
It can be simplified for easier calculation without calculators:
F = (C * 9/5) + 32
Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
C = (F - 32) * 1.8
This can also be simplified to:
C = (F - 32) * 5/9
