About Fahrenheit to Celsius
To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, we use the formula, °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9, in which the value of the temperature in Fahrenheit is placed, and we get the value in Celsius. Fahrenheit and Celsius are the scales that are used to measure temperature. In this lesson, we will be learning about the Fahrenheit to Celsius formula and the method by which we convert Fahrenheit to Celsius.
Fahrenheit: Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit and boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit on the Fahrenheit scale. The symbol °F represents Fahrenheit, and temperatures are written as 32°F, 75°F, etc.
Celsius: Celsius, commonly known as Centigrade, is a temperature scale where water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees. The temperature is written as 100°C, 0°C, etc. The symbol for Celsius is °C.
Relation between Fahrenheit to Celsius
Fahrenheit and Celsius have a 1:1 connection. The temperature on the Fahrenheit scale rises in tandem with the temperature on the Celsius scale. When the temperature on the Celsius scale drops, the temperature on the Fahrenheit scale drops as well. Furthermore, they have differing water boiling and freezing points. This means that the boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius on the Celsius scale and 212 degrees Fahrenheit on the Fahrenheit scale. Similarly, water has a freezing point of 0°C on the Celsius scale and 32°F on the Fahrenheit scale. The following section's F to C formula describes the link between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
The Fahrenheit to Celsius formula (F to C formula), which converts the given temperature value from °F to °C, is expressed as:
°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9 Using this formula, the value of the temperature in Fahrenheit can be converted to Celsius by substituting the value of Fahrenheit.
