Fahrenheit and Celsius scales both measure temperature in "degrees", but the value of a "degree" is different in the two scales. This is because the numerical values for the same temperature are different in each scale. It is possible to convert the temperature on one scale to the equivalent value on the other. (see related question) The Fahrenheit scale establishes the freezing and boiling points of water at 32 °F and 212 °F , while the Celsius scale lists these temperatures as 0°C and 100 °C. So a degree Fahrenheit is smaller, only 5/9 as large as a degree Celsius. 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees cover the same temperature scale as 1 Celsius degree. When a very high temperature is expressed in degrees C, the "number" is 1.8 times more in Fahrenheit.
Until fairly recently the Celsius scale was known as Centigrade as there were 100 degrees between the freezing and boiling points of water at sea level; it was renamed in honour of him. However, it is interesting to note that Celsius actually devised his scales the other way round with water boiling at 0° and freezing at 100°, but it was at his death that it was inverted to the way we use by Carolus Linneaus. The Celsius scale is now defined in terms of Absolute zero (0 K = -273.15°C) and the triple point of water (273.16 K = 0.01°C).
Fahrenheit = 5/9 ( Centigrade - 32)

Centigrade and Fahrenheit are equivalent at -40 degrees. One centigrade degree is 1.8 times one Fahrenheit degree. The boiling point for C is 100o 1 degree Centigrade = 34 degree Fahrenheit1 degree Fahrenheit = -17 degree CentigradeA simple equation can be used to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice-verse.F= (9/5)C + 32orC= (5/9)(F-32)
F to C- Deduct 32, then multiply by 5, then divide by 9 C to F- Multiply by 9, then divide by 5, then add 32 This is how you find Celsius to Fahrenheit and Fahrenheit to Celsius.
There is not a constant difference. At the freezing point of water, 0 deg Celsius = 32 deg Fahrenheit - a difference of 32. At the boiling point of water = 100 deg C = 212 deg F, the difference is 180.
Fahrenheit = 5/9 ( Centigrade - 32)
Same thing
The difference between Celsius and Fahrenheit is that in Celsius, the freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius and the boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius. In Fahrenheit, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit and the boiling point of water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
For conversion between fahrenheit, celsius, rankin and kelvin use the following formulas: Fahrenheit = Celsius * 9 / 5 + 32 Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15 Rankine = Fahrenheit + 459.6
480 degrees Celsius or 864 degrees of Fahrenheit. It is the difference between a slightly cool day of 68 degrees Fahrenheit and turning to ash on Venus at 932 degrees Fahrenheit.

What is the differences of Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometer? Don's say centigrade, say degrees Celsius. Look for the differences yourself. Here is a nice temperature converter. Scroll down to related links and look at "Conversion of temperatures and formulas".

Degree Celsius is a measure of temperature, just like Fahrenheit. The only difference is that Celsius is used in different parts of the world, like South Africa, and Fahrenheit is used in places like America. There is also a difference between temperature in the two. freezing point in Celsius is 0 where as it is 32 in Fahrenheit. Boiling is 100 in Celsius where it is 212 in Fahrenheit
The formula for the conversion between Fahrenheit and centigrade (celsius) is F = (9/5)C+32 So to answer the question... -40 = (9/5)(-40) + 32 -40 = -72 +32 -40 = -40
F to C- Deduct 32, then multiply by 5, then divide by 9 C to F- Multiply by 9, then divide by 5, then add 32 This is how you find Celsius to Fahrenheit and Fahrenheit to Celsius.
The starting point is that 0 Celsius equals 32 Fahrenheit. One degree Celsius is of higher value than one degree Fahrenheit. So, going less than zero on centigrade, the rate of decrease on Celsius is less than the rate of dgress of Fahrenheit until it comes the point of -40 degrees Celsius when both scales match together.Mathematically,F = C x 9/5 +32Where F is degrees Fahrenheit and C degrees CelsiusAccordingly,-40 degrees Celsius = 32 - 40 x 9/5 = -40 degrees Fahrenheit
