Convert fahrenheit to celsius, abbreviated as ℉ to ℃. This is based formula: celsius = (fahrenheit – 32) ÷ 1.8, under this rule, fahrenheits can be easily converted into celsiuses. Now, let’s discuss in more detail.
Fahrenheit unit is based on the 32 degree Fahrenheit when it comes to freezing point of water and 212 degree Fahrenheit for boiling point of water. When we dig deep into the parts we come to know
Absolute zero is -459.67 degree Fahrenheit.
It is represented by the ℉
When it comes to its history, credit goes to Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit based on two reference points mentioned above.
An amazing fact about is that it was replaced by Celsius scale in 1960 in the most countries but United states kept on using this scale for measuring temperature.
The degree celsius is used to refer a certain temperature indicating various temperature changes or between the two temperatures. Centigrade scale is the name alternatively used for Celsius scale.
As far as its history is concerned, Anders Celsius ( 1701-1744), a Swedish Astronomer, was the man who actually developed temperature scale quite similar to it, that’s why this scale is named after that.
Actually this unit was earlier called centigrade scale, then renamed on Anders Celsius for honoring his services, in 1948 as per records.
It is SI derived unit to measure temperature.
Its symbol is ℃
If you want to know how to convert fahrenheit to celsius, you must get the conversion formula or factor first.
Fahrenheit to Celsius formula is:
Celsius = (Fahrenheit – 32) ÷ 1.8
For example, convert 50 ℉ to ℃
50 ℉ = (50 – 32) ÷ 1.8 = 10 ℃
