What is the formula to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius?

The formula to convert temperature value from the unit of Fahrenheit to the unit of Celsius is:

Temperature_(Celsius) = (Temperature_(Fahrenheit) - 32) × 5 / 9

Fahrenheit unit in Temperature

The Fahrenheit scale was introduced by German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in the early 18th century. It defines the freezing point of water at 32 degrees and the boiling point at 212 degrees, both under standard atmospheric pressure. While its use is primarily concentrated in the United States and a few Caribbean nations, it is the standard for everyday weather forecasts, household heating, and cooking temperatures. The scale's narrower degree range allows for more precise temperature readings in these applications, making it particularly useful in fields like meteorology and industrial processes.

Celsius unit in Temperature

Celsius is a temperature scale widely used across the globe, particularly in scientific research, education, and most daily temperature measurements. Named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, the scale is based on the phase changes of water under standard atmospheric conditions, with 0 degrees representing the freezing point of water and 100 degrees marking the boiling point. The Celsius scale is part of the International System of Units (SI) and is preferred in most countries, offering a straightforward metric system integration, especially for scientific purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about "Fahrenheit ➜ Celsius" Conversion

1. What is the conversion formula from Fahrenheit to Celsius?

The formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius in Temperature is:

(Fahrenheit - 32) * 5 / 9

2. How do I convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius given a value in Fahrenheit units?

To convert Temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the following formula:

(Fahrenheit - 32) * 5 / 9

For example, if you have a value in Fahrenheit, you substitute that value in place of Fahrenheit in the above formula, and solve the mathematical expression to get the equivalent value in Celsius.
