Are Fahrenheit and celsius the same?

No. They are two separate scales, and the values are completely different.

Similarities

Both scales measure temperature and both use the freezing and boiling points of water to define values. Both use intervals called "degrees".

Differences

The sizes of the intervals (degrees) are different. A degree Celsius is 1.8 times as large as a degree Fahrenheit, which is why common temperatures expressed in Fahrenheit have larger numerical values. (e.g. 30°C = 86°F)

The 0° point for Celsius is at the freezing point of water. That same temperature (water freezes into ice) is at the 32° value on the Fahrenheit scale.

The commonly used values :

0°C = 32°F = water freezes

100°C = 212°F = water boils

To convert between scales :

Fahrenheit temperature = (9/5 x Celsius temperature)+ 32

Celsius temperature = 5/9 x (Fahrenheit temperature - 32)
