Celsius to Fahrenheit Converter
Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit and back, instantly.
Convert between two offset temperature scales
Celsius and Fahrenheit differ in both degree size and zero point, so a simple linear factor is not enough. Celsius to Fahrenheit multiplies by nine-fifths and adds 32; the reverse subtracts 32 and multiplies by five-ninths. This page applies the correct direction automatically.
The default 100 degrees Celsius converts to exactly 212 degrees Fahrenheit. In reverse, 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit converts to exactly 37 degrees Celsius. Negative inputs remain valid, including the point where both scales read minus 40.
Private temperature arithmetic
The conversion runs entirely in your browser and does not request weather, location, or device-sensor data. It changes a supplied temperature unit only. Medical, cooking, industrial, and weather decisions still require an accurate source reading and appropriate context.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 100 degrees Celsius in Fahrenheit?
One hundred degrees Celsius equals 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
Why can temperature not use one multiplication factor?
The Celsius and Fahrenheit scales have different zero points as well as different degree sizes, so conversion requires multiplication and an offset.
Can this convert temperatures below zero?
Yes. Negative temperatures are valid on both scales and are not clamped by the calculator.
