What is Celsius to Fahrenheit Converter?
A Celsius to Fahrenheit converter is a tool or utility used to convert temperatures from Celsius (°C) to Fahrenheit (°F), commonly used in weather forecasts, scientific measurements, and day-to-day temperature conversions. Both Celsius and Fahrenheit are temperature scales, but they use different reference points and increments:
Celsius (°C):
- The Celsius scale, also known as Centigrade, is widely used around the world, especially in science and for general temperature measurement.
- In the Celsius scale, 0°C is the freezing point of water, and 100°C is the boiling point of water at sea level.
Fahrenheit (°F):
- The Fahrenheit scale is primarily used in the United States for weather forecasts and temperature readings.
- In the Fahrenheit scale, 32°F is the freezing point of water, and 212°F is the boiling point of water at sea level.
Formula for Conversion:
- To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, the formula is:
F = (C × 9/5) + 32
