Formula
Fahrenheit = Celsius × 9/5 + 32. Multiply by 9, divide by 5, then add 32.
How it works
Enter a Celsius temperature. The calculator applies the standard scale shift and scaling and shows the Fahrenheit equivalent. Water freezes at 0 °C (32 °F) and boils at 100 °C (212 °F) at standard pressure.
FAQs
What is 0 °C in Fahrenheit?
0 °C equals 32 °F, the freezing point of water.
Why add 32?
The Fahrenheit scale sets the freezing point of water at 32 instead of 0, so the 32 shift aligns the two scales before scaling the degree size.
Is −40 the same in both scales?
Yes. −40 °C equals −40 °F, the one temperature where the two scales agree.
