Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
Celsius
Celsius or centigrade is a unit of temperature.
The freezing/melting point of water is about zero degrees celsius (0 °C) at a pressure of 1 atmosphere.
The boiling point of water is about one hundred degrees celsius (100 °C) at a pressure of 1 atmosphere.
The exact values depend on the water composition (usually the amount of salt) and the air pressure.
Seawater contains salt and the freezing point is reduced below 0 °C.
When boiling water on a mountain above sea level the boiling point is reduced below 100 °C.
The symbol of Celsius degrees is °C.
Fahrenheit
Fahrenheit is a unit of temperature.
The freezing/melting point of water is about 32 °F at a pressure of 1 atmosphere.
The symbol of Fahrenheit degrees is °F.
How to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
0 degrees Celsius is equal to 32 degrees Fahrenheit:
0 °C = 32 °F
The temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) is equal to the temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) times 9/5 plus 32:
Fahrenheit = Celsius × 9/5 + 32
or
Fahrenheit = Celsius × 1.8 + 32
Example
Convert 20 degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit:
Fahrenheit = 20°C × 9/5 + 32 = 68 °F
