What is Fahrenheit to Celsius Converter?
A Fahrenheit to Celsius converter is a tool or utility used to convert temperatures from Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C), which are both commonly used temperature scales around the world. While the Fahrenheit scale is mainly used in the United States, Celsius is widely used in most other countries and in scientific contexts.
Fahrenheit (°F):
- The Fahrenheit scale is typically used in the U.S. for weather, cooking, and other day-to-day temperature measurements.
- On this scale, the freezing point of water is 32°F, and the boiling point is 212°F at sea level.
Celsius (°C):
- The Celsius scale, or Centigrade, is used internationally for most temperature measurements and is the standard in scientific research.
- On this scale, the freezing point of water is 0°C, and the boiling point is 100°C at sea level.
Conversion Formula:
- The formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is:
C = (F - 32) × 5/9
