About these units

Fahrenheit: The degree Fahrenheit (°F) is a temperature unit in the US customary system. On this scale, the freezing point of water is 32 °F and the boiling point is 212 °F — exactly 180 degrees apart. ...

Celsius: The degree Celsius (°C) is the SI-derived unit of temperature. It is defined so that 0 °C = 273.15 K exactly, with the same unit increment as the kelvin.
