0C is the freezing point of water (or more accurately the melting point of ice) and it is 32F. A 1 Celsius change is a change of 1.8 Fahrenheits while a 1 Fahrenheit change translates to a change of 0.55 Celsius. This is one of the easiest way to convert them if you know that 0C = 32F.
Kelvin Scale. Degrees Celsius (Â°C) and kelvins (K) have the same magnitude. The only difference between the scales is their starting points: 0 K is absolute zero, while 0Â°C is the freezing point of water. One can convert degrees Celsius to kelvins by adding 273.15; thus, the boiling point of water, 100Â°C, is 373.15 K.
The formula for converting from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius is based on the difference of 180 degrees between the freezing and boiling points of water in Fahrenheit. The freezing point of water is 32 degrees in Fahrenheit and zero degrees in Celsius. Celsius is a unit from the metric system of measurement used by most of the world and in most scientific contexts. Fahrenheit is part of the imperial system of measurement and is used in the United States.
