Share How many degrees Fahrenheit is 1 Celsius? 1 Celsius is equal to 33.8 Fahrenheit. Go ahead and convert your own value of °C to °F in the converter below. Show For other conversions in temperature, use the temperature conversion tool. Celsius is, or relates to, the Celsius temperature scale (previously known as the centigrade scale). The degree Celsius (symbol: °C) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale as well as serve as unit increment to indicate a temperature interval (a difference between two temperatures or an uncertainty). “Celsius” is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701 – 1744), who developed a similar temperature scale two years before his death. See all conversions for Celsius here. Fahrenheit is a temperature scale named after the Polish–German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686–1736), who proposed it in 1724. In this scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (written "32 °F"), and the boiling point is 212 degrees, placing the boiling and freezing points of water exactly 180 degrees apart. On the Celsius scale, the freezing and boiling points of water are exactly 100 degrees apart, thus the unit of this scale, a degree Fahrenheit, is 5⁄9 of a degree Celsius. Negative 40 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 °F) is equal to negative 40 degrees Celsius (-40 °C). See all conversions for Fahrenheit here.

Type a value in either box Or use the slider Or the Interactive Thermometer Or this method:
(Explanation Below ...) (only bold are exactly the same)
Some Tricks:Daily Temperatures: these three conversions "flip the digits" (accurate within 1°): °C °F 28 ⇄ 82 16 ⇄ 61 04 ⇄ 40 Oven Temperatures: in the range 150 to 200 °C we can double °C to get °F (accurate within 8°F):
Going the other way: for the range 300 to 400 °F we can halve °F to get °C (accurate within 4°C). ExplanationThere are two main temperature scales:
They both measure the same thing (temperature!), but use different numbers:
Like this: Looking at the diagram, notice:
And so, to convert: from Celsius to Fahrenheit: first multiply by 180100, then add 32 from Fahrenheit to Celsius: first subtract 32, then multiply by 100180 180100 can be simplified to 95, and 100180 can be simplified to 59, so we get this:
First: 25° / 5 = 5
First: 98.6° − 32 = 66.6 We can swap the order of divide and multiply if we want, but don't change the add or subtract. So this is also OK:
First: 98.6° − 32 = 66.6 (Same answer as before, was it easier or harder this way?) We can write them as formulas:Celsius to Fahrenheit: (°C × 95) + 32 = °F 9/5 is equal to 1.8, so we can also use this method: Celsius to Fahrenheit: °C × 1.8 + 32 = °F To make "×1.8" easier we can multiply by 2 and subtract 10%, but it only works for °C to °F: Celsius to Fahrenheit: (°C × 2) less 10% + 32 = °F Example: Convert 20° Celsius (A nice day) to Fahrenheit
Add 40, Multiply, Subtract 40Since both scales cross at −40° (−40° C equals −40° F) we can:
Like this: Celsius to Fahrenheit: Add 40, multiply by 9/5, then subtract 40 Example: Convert 10° Celsius (A cool day) to Fahrenheit
Quick, but Not AccurateCelsius to Fahrenheit: Double, then add 30 Examples °C → °F:

Footnote: Temperature is a measure of how fast an object's particles are moving. 1041, 1042, 1043, 1044, 3724, 3725, 3726, 3727, 3728, 3729 Copyright © 2022 Rod Pierce Celsius and Fahrenheit are the temperature measruing scales and units. CelsiusCelsius is one of the most commonly used temperature measring unit and scale. Earlier it used to be known as Centigrade but later it was named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, who created a temperature measring scale which was exactly opposite of Centigrade. On the scale created by Andres Celsius, 0 was the boiling point of water and 100 was the freezing point of water. Later this scale was reversed and named as "degree Celsius" with the symbol of ºC. FahrenheitFahrenheit is a temperature measuring scale and unit, named after German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, who created this scale in 1724. Conversion from Celcius to FahrenheitWe often required to convert between temperature measuring units. Around the world, the most commonly used temperature units are Celsius and Fahrenheit. Celsius is commonly used in places like Europe, Asia and Africa whereas Fahrenheit is mostly used in the United States (USA). Formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is given below: ºF = ºC * 1.8000 + 32.00 Commonly Used Temprature Figures in Fahrenheit
