What are Fahrenheit and Celsius

Fahrenheit is a temperature scale that bases the boiling point of water at 212 degrees and the freezing point at 32 degrees under standard atmospheric conditions. This scale was proposed by, and named after, the German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in the early 18th century. The Fahrenheit scale is primarily used in the United States for weather forecasts, cooking, and other applications.

The Celsius scale, also known as centigrade, is a temperature scale that defines the freezing point of water as 0 degrees and the boiling point as 100 degrees under standard atmospheric pressure. It was developed by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius. This scale is part of the metric system and is used worldwide for most temperature measurements, especially in scientific contexts.

History of Fahrenheit and Celsius

A brief history of the Fahrenheit to Celsius converter begins with the creation of the Fahrenheit scale by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724. Later, Anders Celsius developed his own scale in 1742 which laid the groundwork for the metric system. The converter is now a vital tool for international communication and science.
