Result
Celsius and Fahrenheit, side by side
Celsius and Fahrenheit measure the same thing on different scales, and they start counting from different places. That is why the conversion is not a simple multiplication: 0°C comes out as 32°F, not zero.
Going the other way, 0°F is -17.78°C. Any converter that treats this as a ratio gets both directions wrong.
The Celsius scale puts the freezing point of water at 0 °C and its boiling point at 100 °C at sea level. It is the everyday scale in almost every country, and its degree is the same size as the kelvin, offset by exactly 273.15.
The Fahrenheit scale puts water’s freezing point at 32 °F and its boiling point at 212 °F, so the two sit 180 degrees apart against 100 in Celsius. It is the everyday scale in the United States, where normal body temperature is usually quoted as 98.6 °F.
