Unit Information

Celsius (°C)

The Celsius scale is the SI unit of temperature, with water freezing at 0°C and boiling at 100°C.

0°C = 32°F100°C = 212°FT(°F) = T(°C) × 9/5 + 32

Fahrenheit (°F)

The Fahrenheit scale is primarily used in the US, with water freezing at 32°F and boiling at 212°F.

32°F = 0°C212°F = 100°CT(°C) = (T(°F) - 32) × 5/9
