Frequently asked questions

What is the formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?

Multiply the Celsius value by 9/5, then add 32. So F = C times 9/5 plus 32. For example, 20 C becomes 20 times 1.8 plus 32, which is 68 F.

What is normal body temperature in Fahrenheit?

Normal body temperature is about 37 C, which is 98.6 F. A reading of 38 C equals 100.4 F and is generally considered a fever.

What are some common Celsius to Fahrenheit conversions?

0 C is 32 F (water freezes), 20 C is 68 F (room temperature), 37 C is 98.6 F (body), and 100 C is 212 F (water boils at sea level).

At what temperature are Celsius and Fahrenheit equal?

They meet at -40 degrees: -40 C is exactly -40 F. It is the only point where both scales read the same number.

Is this conversion exact?

Yes. The formula is exact, so 100 C is exactly 212 F. Results are rounded for display, but the underlying calculation is precise.
