Temperature Units Conversion
Temperature is the physical property of a system which underlies the common notions of "hot" and "cold"; the material with the higher temperature is said to be hotter. Physically, temperature is a measure related to the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

Fahrenheit is a temperature scale named after Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), a German physicist who proposed it in 1724. In this scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) and the boiling point 212 °F, placing the boiling and freezing points of water exactly 180 degrees apart. A degree on the Fahrenheit scale is 1/180th part of interval between the ice point and steam point or boiling point. On the Celsius scale, the freezing and boiling points of water are exactly 100 degrees apart, hence the unit of this scale. A temperature interval of one degree Fahrenheit is an interval of 5/9 of a degree Celsius. The Fahrenheit and Celsius scales coincide at -40 degrees (i.e. -40 °F and -40 °C describe the same temperature).

The Celsius temperature scale was 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 a 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.
