Celsius to Fahrenheit Temperature Conversion: Formulas & Scientific Rules [Volledige gids en praktische tips]

The Historical Origin of Celsius & Fahrenheit Scales

In 1724, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit established a temperature scale using the freezing point of brine and body temperature. In 1742, Anders Celsius created the centigrade scale based on the physical freezing point ((0^circ ext{C})) and boiling point ((100^circ ext{C})) of pure water at sea level atmospheric pressure.

The Exact Mathematical Conversion Formulas

• Celsius to Fahrenheit: (^circ ext{F} = (^circ ext{C} imes rac{9}{5}) + 32) (or (^circ ext{F} = ^circ ext{C} imes 1.8 + 32))
• Fahrenheit to Celsius: (^circ ext{C} = (^circ ext{F} - 32) imes rac{5}{9})
• Celsius to Kelvin: ( ext{K} = ^circ ext{C} + 273.15)

Quick Mental Math Approximation Trick

To quickly convert (^circ ext{C}) to (^circ ext{F}) in your head without a calculator: Double the Celsius temperature and add 30 (e.g. (20^circ ext{C} imes 2 = 40 + 30 = 70^circ ext{F}), close to the exact (68^circ ext{F})).
