Celsius to Fahrenheit: Definition, History, Uses, and Examples

Definition

Celsius (°C) is a metric temperature scale where 0° is the freezing point and 100° is the boiling point of water at 1 atm. Fahrenheit (°F) is a temperature scale used primarily in the US. The conversion is linear: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32.

Origin or History

The Celsius scale was proposed by Anders Celsius in 1742 and later inverted to today’s form. The Fahrenheit scale was introduced by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit around 1724, based on fixed reference points including a brine mixture and human body temperature.

Current Use

  • Weather: Daily forecasts (°C worldwide, °F in the US).
  • Cooking: Oven and recipe temperatures (often °F in US kitchens).
  • HVAC: Thermostat settings in homes and buildings.
  • Science: Data interchange between °C and °F as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to convert 30°C to Fahrenheit quickly?
30 × 9/5 + 32 = 86°F. Rule of thumb: double °C and add 30 for a quick estimate (gives ≈ 90°F).
What is 180°C and 200°C in Fahrenheit for baking?
180°C = 356°F (often rounded to 350–360°F). 200°C = 392°F (commonly rounded to 390–400°F).
Is 37°C exactly 98.6°F?
Yes. 37 × 9/5 + 32 = 98.6°F, the commonly cited body temperature.
Quick mental math: How can I estimate °C to °F?
Double the °C value and add 30 for a quick estimate. Example: 20°C → ≈ 70°F (exact is 68°F).
