Who or What is Celsius?
Celsius is a temperature scale named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701-1744), who proposed it in 1742.
It is also known as the centigrade scale because it is based on the metric system, in which the freezing and boiling points of water are defined as 0 and 100 degrees, respectively.
The size of the degree unit is the same as the size of the degree unit in the Kelvin scale, which is the SI unit of temperature.
Celsius and Kelvin are interchangeable for everyday use, but for scientific work, the SI unit is Kelvin.
How to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit with Formula and Example
The formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is:
Fahrenheit = (Celsius x 9/5) + 32
where Fahrenheit is the temperature in Fahrenheit and Celsius is the temperature in Celsius.
For example, if you have a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and you want to convert it to Fahrenheit, you would use the formula like this:
Fahrenheit = (25 x 9/5) + 32
Fahrenheit = 45 + 32
Fahrenheit = 77
So, 25 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 77 degrees Fahrenheit.
Another example, if you have a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius and you want to convert it to Fahrenheit, you would use the formula like this:
Fahrenheit = (0 x 9/5) + 32
Fahrenheit = 0 + 32
Fahrenheit = 32
So, 0 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
