What are celsius and fahrenheit?
Celsius sets water’s freezing point at 0° and boiling at 100° at sea level, and is used by most of the world. Fahrenheit puts water’s freezing point at 32° and boiling at 212°, and is used mainly in the United States. For reference: a comfortable room is about 21 °C (70 °F), and normal body temperature is 37 °C (98.6 °F).
How to convert celsius to fahrenheit
Temperature scales don't share a zero point, so you can't convert by a single multiplier — use the formula °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. For example, 0°C = 32°F, 37°C = 98.6°F, and 100°C = 212°F.

FAQ
What is the formula to convert celsius to fahrenheit?
°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. Temperature scales don't share a zero point, so you convert with this formula rather than a single multiplier.
What is 0 °C in °F?
0 °C = 32 °F, and 100 °C = 212 °F.
Why can't I just multiply celsius by a number?
Because Celsius and Fahrenheit start counting from different zero points, multiplication alone would give the wrong answer — you also have to shift the scale, which the formula above handles.
