TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT

About Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature conversions
Celsius or Centigrade is the metric system measuring unit for temperature. It was originally defined based on the freezing point of water (0°C) and the boiling point of water (100°C), both at a pressure of one standard atmosphere. The contemporary definition of °C is based on absolute zero and the triple point of specially purified water.

°C = (°F - 32) x 5/9

Fahrenheit is the measuring unit for temperature officially used in the Bahamas, Belize, the Cayman Islands, Palau and the United States. It was originally defined based on the lowest temperature to which brine could reproducibly be cooled (0°F) and the average human core body temperature (100°F). The contemporary definition of °F is based on the temperature at which water freezes (32°F) and the boiling point of water at a pressure of one standard atmosphere.
