Celsius to Fahrenheit Converter

Before we show what the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion is, let's share some interesting facts regarding Celsius:

• Anders Celsius is the name of a Swedish astronomer and mathematician who invented this temperature scale in 1742.

• Initially, 0 °C was set as the boiling point of water, and 100 °C was its melting point. Later on, it was inverted.

• We also refer to this scale as centigrade because it has 100 degrees of intervals between its defined freezing and boiling water points.

To use the Celsius to Fahrenheit converter:

1. Enter your Celsius temperature in the first field, e.g., 20 °C.

2. The calculator will convert it into Fahrenheit and display it in the second field, e.g., 68 °F.

3. You can also use this in reverse and enter your Fahrenheit temperature to obtain your temperature in Celsius.

4. Furthermore, you can switch either of the temperature units to convert into kelvins.

Here's the formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit:

And here's the formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius:

where:

• — The unit temperature in Fahrenheit; and
• — The unit temperature in Celsius.

Here's an example:

1. Let's use the formula to convert the boiling point of water, i.e., 100°C into Fahrenheit.

   Placing the values in the first formula, we get:

   Thus, if we convert 100 °C into Fahrenheit, we get 212 °F.

2. Now, let's convert 212°F back into Celsius.

   Placing the values in the second formula, we get:

   Thus, if we convert 212 °F back into Celsius, we still get 100 °C.
