How is the conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit done?
The formula to convert Celsius (°C) to Fahrenheit (°F) is as follows: °F = °C × 9/5 + 32. If you have a temperature in Celsius, just apply the formula to get the degrees Fahrenheit.
For example:
- To convert 0°C to Fahrenheit, we perform the following conversion operation 0°C × 9/5 + 32 = 32°F.
- To convert 10 centigrade degrees to Fahrenheit (c to f), simply multiply 10°C × 9/5 + 32 = 50°F.
- If you want to convert 20°C in Fahrenheit, the calculation would be quick with 20°C × 9/5 + 32 = 68°F.
- Let’s convert -40 Celsius in Fahrenheit (where Celsius and Fahrenheit are equal): -40°C × 9/5 + 32 = -40°F.
- For a typical room temperature of 22°C, the equivalent in Fahrenheit is: 22°C × 9/5 + 32 = 71.6°F.
Remember that the degree Celsius is a temperature unit of the Metric System, used mainly in most countries of the world, while the degree Fahrenheit is part of the imperial system, used mainly in the United States.
🟧 Note: Although “centigrade degrees” and “Celsius” are used interchangeably. In fact, Celsius is the official term since 1948 by the General Conference on Weights and Measures in honor of Anders Celsius, for the temperature scale with 0° as freezing and 100° as boiling of water.

Frequently asked questions about converting Celsius to Fahrenheit – FAQ
What is the formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?
The formula to convert degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit is: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. Multiply the degrees Celsius by 9/5 and then add 32.
What is the freezing temperature of water in Celsius?
Water freezes at 0 °C (Degrees Celsius).
What is the boiling temperature of water in Celsius?
The boiling temperature of water is at 100 °C (Degrees Celsius).
Why are there two temperature scales?
The Celsius and Fahrenheit scales were developed by different scientists in different contexts. Both scales have their own advantages and disadvantages.
How do I convert 20 °C to Fahrenheit?
We must use the following formula: °F = (20 × 9/5) + 32 = 36 + 32 = 68 °F. Therefore, the equivalence is 20 °C is 68 °F.
What is 0 °C equivalent to in Fahrenheit?
0 °C (Degrees Celsius) is equivalent to 32 °F (Fahrenheit), as the mathematical calculation would be: °F = (0 × 9/5) + 32 = 32.
Why is 32 added in the conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit?
32 is added because the Fahrenheit scale sets the freezing point of water at 32 °F, while in Celsius it is 0 °C. This adjusts the difference between the two scales.
How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit without a calculator?
A quick approximation is to double the degrees Celsius and add 30. Example: 20 °C ≈ 40 + 30 = 70 °F (the exact result is 68 °F, but it’s a good estimate).
Which is hotter, 100 °C or 200 °F?
100 °C is hotter. 100 °C = 212 °F (boiling point of water), while 200 °F = 93.3 °C, so 100 °C > 200 °F.
What is the difference between Celsius and Fahrenheit?
Celsius uses a scale where water freezes at 0 °C and boils at 100 °C. Fahrenheit sets freezing at 32 °F and boiling at 212 °F. Fahrenheit has smaller increments (1 °C = 1.8 °F).
What is -40 °C in Fahrenheit?
-40 °C is equivalent to -40 °F. This is the point where both scales coincide.
How do I know if a temperature in Fahrenheit is high if I’m used to Celsius?
A useful reference: 50 °F ≈ 10 °C (cool), 68 °F ≈ 20 °C (comfortable), 86 °F ≈ 30 °C (hot). Calculate with the formula if you need precision.
How do I convert negative temperatures from Celsius to Fahrenheit?
We have to apply the same formula as always for conversion from degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit, that is: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. Example: -10 °C = (-10 × 9/5) + 32 = -18 + 32 = 14 °F.
What is 50 °C in Fahrenheit?
If we use the conversion formula: °F = (50 × 9/5) + 32 = 90 + 32 = 122 °F. Therefore, 50 °C is 122 °F.
What does 98.6 °F mean in Celsius and why is it important?
98.6 °F is equivalent to 37 °C. Reverse calculation: °C = (98.6 – 32) × 5/9 = 37. It is important because it is the average human body temperature.
How do I know if a temperature in Celsius is equivalent to another in Fahrenheit without calculating?
There is only one point where they are equal: -40 °C = -40 °F. For other values, you need the formula or a conversion table, as the scales do not linearly coincide.
