What scales do we use?
Today, we use the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales.
•“32° is quite warm!”
However, most countries use the Celsius scale, which is why most people in a foreign country say things like...
•Fahrenheit remains the official temperature scale for two countries: Canada and the US.
•"0° is the freezing point of water!"
Conversions
Take the temperature in Fahrenheit and subtract 32.
The result is degrees Celsius.
Divide by 1.8.
Fahrenheit to Celsius:
Conclusion
So which is the best temperature scale?
<(O^O)>
(>-_-)>
Celsius to Fahrenheit:
(>-_-)>
It all depends...
Add 32 degrees.
Or do you like to use something that most of the world has in common with?
Do you like to round to the hundreds?
Do you like no fractions?
(like a secret code)
Do you like using something most of the world doesn't use?
The result is degrees Fahrenheit.
Celsius: Why?
Different Types of
Temperature Scales
Take the temperature in Celsius and multiply by 1.8.
Why does most of the world use Celsius?
The main reason why (most of) the world uses Celsius is for the sheer fact that it is simple.
While the freezing point of water in Fahrenheit is 32°.
For example, the freezing point of water in Celsius is 0°
It's a lot simpler to remember, thus it is more popular.

So What's the Difference?
Fahrenheit and Celsius: What's different?
Celsius, on the other hand, is based off hundreds for simplicity.
Fahrenheit is based off the number 4, in order to not cause any fractions

Lesser known temperatures
The world is full of unused temperature scales
and even then, there are forgotten measurements!
but no one other than scientists use them
A scale usually only used by scientists is called the "Kelvin" scale.
When were temperature
scales made?
The Fahrenheit scale was,
surprisingly, created before Celsius.
•Celsius, on the other hand, was created in the 1740's by Anders Celsius,
•Fahrenheit was created in the (early) 1700's by Gabriel Fahrenheit.
