Convert between Fahrenheit and Celsius
Fahrenheit is a temperature scale named after the polish-german physicist
Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), who proposed it in 1724.On this scale, the freezing
point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (written “32° F”), and the boiling point is 212
degrees apart. On the Celsius scale, the freezing and boiling points of water are exactly
100 degrees apart, thus the unit of this scale, a degree Fahrenheit, is 5/9 of a degree Celsius.
Negative 40 degrees Fahrenheit (-40° F) is equal to negative 40 degrees Celsius (-40° C).
