Converting Celsius to Fahrenheit is a common temperature conversion. One celsius (°C) equals 33.8 fahrenheit (°F). Celsius is used in most countries worldwide and in all scientific applications.
This conversion is commonly needed for weather and travel planning, cooking and baking, scientific experiments. Fahrenheit is used for everyday temperatures in the United States and a few Caribbean nations.
To put celsius in perspective: water freezes (0 °C). In fahrenheit, common references include water freezes (32 °F).
The Celsius scale was invented by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742, but he originally set 0° as boiling and 100° as freezing — it was later reversed.
Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit chose 96° as normal body temperature (later corrected to 98.6°F) and 0° as the temperature of a specific brine solution.
