Thermodynamic Origins
The Celsius scale, originally known as centigrade, defines the freezing point of water at exactly 0°C and the boiling point at exactly 100°C under standard atmospheric conditions. This makes metric thermal calculations incredibly clean logically.
The Fahrenheit scale, utilized almost exclusively formally by the United States, places the freezing point of water at 32°F and the boiling point at 212°F.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?
To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply the Celsius temperature by 1.8 (or 9/5) and then add 32. The formula is F = (C × 1.8) + 32.
What is normal human body temperature in both scales?
Normal human body temperature is generally accepted as 37 degrees Celsius, which translates perfectly to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
At what temperature are Celsius and Fahrenheit perfectly equal?
Both the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales perfectly intersect at exactly -40 degrees (-40°C = -40°F).
