What is the simplest rule for estimating Fahrenheit when you already know the Celsius scale?
Why estimate? Use this formula. Temperature Fahrenheit = Temperature Celsius(1.80) + 32
What temperature scales do most countries use besides the united states?
Celsius
What is the reason you have the celsius and Fahrenheit scale?
Both scales were developed in the early 18th Century. The Fahrenheit scale was proposed by Daniel Fahrenheit. The freezing point of brine set the 0 point. 180 degrees separated the freezing point of water (32 degrees) from the boiling point (212 deg). Anders Celsius introduced the Centigrade scale in which the freezing point was 0 deg and the boiling point was 100 degrees. Centigrade was later renamed Celsius. The Celsius scale is the international standard, used by most countries and scientific communities in all countries. There are some countries, however, that have not fully adopted the Celsius scale, so the Fahrenheit scale remains in use today.
Where does the word Celsius and Fahrenheit came from?
Fahrenheit is a temperature scale named after the physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), who proposed it in 1724. Today, the scale has largely been replaced by the Celsius scale; it is still in use for non-scientific purposes in the United States and a few other countries such as Belize,[1] and is sometimes given in weather forecasts and used by older people in the United Kingdom.
How does weather use negative numbers?
When determining temperature in the negative range, which is more often seen in the Celsius scale versus the Fahrenheit scale. Negative numbers in Celsius are below the freezing point of water.Reported changes in tides and barometric levels use negative numbers as well, although the readings themselves would not be negative.
Are oven temperature Celsius?
Countries that use Celsius use it in their ovens.
What kind of temperature scale does temperature use?
Celsius, kelvin, Fahrenheit
Most nations use what scale of temperature?

Does Australia use the celsius temperature scale?
Yes. Beginning in 1970, Australia adopted the use of the Celsius (centigrade) scale for temperatures.
Why is the celsius scale used?
Strictly speaking, the degree Kelvin is the scientific temperature scale, and 0oC is +273.16 degrees K. The Fahrenheit temperature scale is being used less and less. Only a very few countries fail to use Celsius. So international convenience is the reason.
