The Celsius temperature scale was designed so that the freezing point of water is 0 degrees, and the boiling point is 100 degrees at standard atmospheric pressure.Ĭ provides an online conversion calculator for all types of measurement units. The Celsius scale is also known as the centigrade scale. Its simplicity with reference points based on the properties of water made it widely adopted and essential for scientific and everyday temperature measurements. The following formula can be used to convert a temperature from its representation on the Fahrenheit (F) scale to the Celsius (C) value: C 5/9 (F 32). The degree Celsius (☌) is a unit of temperature named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701–1744), who first proposed a similar system in 1742. Celsius proposed a temperature scale with 0 degrees as the freezing point of water and 100 degrees as the boiling point of water. Invented in 1742 by the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, it is sometimes called the centigrade scale because of the 100-degree interval between the defined points. 1 Celsius change is a change of 1.8 Fahrenheits while a 1 Fahrenheit change translates. To convert 200 Fahrenheit to Celsius: Subtract 32 from 200, to obtain 168 Multiply 168 by 5 to get 840 Divide 840 by 9, and you get the result, i.e., 93.33 ☌.
