What is Fahrenheit (°F)?
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.
What is Celsius (°C)?
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 32°F in Celsius?
32°F equals 0°C. This is the freezing point of water at standard atmospheric pressure and is one of the key reference points between the two temperature scales.
What is 212°F in Celsius?
212°F equals 100°C. This is the boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure, marking the upper reference point for both temperature scales.
What is 98.6°F in Celsius?
98.6°F equals 37°C. This is the average normal human body temperature. A reading above 100.4°F (38°C) is generally considered a fever.
How do I convert oven temperatures from Fahrenheit to Celsius?
Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit value and multiply by 5/9. Common oven temperatures: 350°F = 177°C, 375°F = 191°C, 400°F = 204°C, 425°F = 218°C, 450°F = 232°C.
Is there a quick way to estimate Fahrenheit to Celsius?
For a rough estimate, subtract 30 and divide by 2. For example, 80°F: (80 - 30) / 2 = 25°C (the exact answer is 26.67°C). This shortcut works well for everyday weather temperatures.
