Temperature Intro 2

​There are 3 Temperature Scales, Today we will focus on two.

Celsius & Fahrenheit

​Celsius

​The Celsius is used in most parts of the world (Besides the US).

​

It is the easiest to work with because of the way it was designed.

​

0°​ is the Freezing Point

While 100°​ is the Boiling Point

​Fahrenheit

​The Fahrenheit scale is used mainly just in the US.

​

Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit came up with it in the 1700's​

​

He choose 0°​ because it was the temperature on the coldest day of the year

​

While 100°​ was supposed to be the temperature of a human body

​This means the Freezing Point of Water = 32° F

And the Boiling point of water is 212°​ F

• (degrees Fahrenheit - 32) divided by  1.8 = degrees C

• Example: 101 degrees Fahrenheit

• (101 - 32) divided by 1.8 = degrees Celsius

• 69 divided by 1.98 = 38.3 degrees Celsius

• Celsius to Fahrenheit

• (degrees C X 1.8) + 32 = degrees Fahrenheit

• Example: 37 degrees Celsius

• (37 X 1.8) + 32 = degrees Fahrenheit

• 66.6 + 32 = 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit
