Either - it all depends what you learnt when growing up, or have adapted to as you've grown older.
The Fahrenheit scale is almost twice the size of the Celsius scale (between freezing and boiling on Celsius there are 100 degrees, but on the Fahrenheit there are 180 degrees) meaning that smaller temperature differences show up as a larger difference with the Fahrenheit scale than with the Celsius scale.
They are just as easy as each other, though scientists prefer Kelvin which has the same unit differences as Celsius but starting with 0 K = -273.15oC (water freezes at 273.15 K and boils at 373.15 K).
The Fahrenheit scale was originally intended to be 0oF = freezing point of brine, nominally 32oF = freezing point of water and 96oF = normal body temperature, but later scientists redefined the scale slightly so that water did freezer at exactly 32o F which made body temperature 98.4oF.

What temperature will the reading on the Fahrenheit scale be double of the reading on the Celsius scale?
160 Celsius = 320 Fahrenheit
What is 68 degrees Celsius in the Fahrenheit scale?
68 degree celsius = 154.4 Fahrenheit
How do degrees Celsius relate to degrees Fahrenheit?
The Celsius scale has its 'zero' at the same temperature as 32 on the Fahrenheit scale, and each Celsius degree is the same size as 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees.
What is 65 degrees Fahrenheit on a celsius scale?
65 degrees Fahrenheit is 18.3 degrees Celsius.
What is -400 degrees Fahrenheit on the Celsius scale?
(-400) degrees Fahrenheit = -240 degrees Celsius
What are the units of a kelvin scale Fahrenheit scale and celsius scale?
The units, in this case, are kelvin, degrees Fahrenheit, and degrees Celsius.
What temperature will the reading on the Fahrenheit scale be double of the reading on the Celsius scale?
160 Celsius = 320 Fahrenheit
Is 50 hotter on Celsius or on a Fahrenheit scale?
50 celsius Hotter on Celsius Scale
What temperature is absolute 0 degrees in Celsius and Fahrenheit?
−273.15° on the Celsius scale which equates to −459.67° on the Fahrenheit scale
Is the Fahrenheit scale most familiar to people?
The Fahrenheit scale is the temperature scale most familiar to most people in the US. However for the rest of the world, the Celsius scale is the one that is most familiar.
What is the scale for on a thermometer?
The C is Celsius and the F is Fahrenheit. On a Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and boils at 100 degrees Celsius. On a Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit and boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit because Celsius is used world wide and Fahrenheit is used only in the U.S.
What is 23 Celsius?
23 degrees Celsius is a temperature reading on the the Celsius scale. To compare to the Fahrenheit scale 23 degrees Celsius is equal to 73.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
How do degrees Celsius relate to degrees Fahrenheit?
The Celsius scale has its 'zero' at the same temperature as 32 on the Fahrenheit scale, and each Celsius degree is the same size as 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees.
What is another scale besides the Celsius scale?
Fahrenheit
What is 68 degrees Celsius in the Fahrenheit scale?
68 degree celsius = 154.4 Fahrenheit
What is 37.0 degree celsius on the Fahrenheit scale?
37 degrees Celsius = 98.6 Fahrenheit.
What the normal body temperature for both celsius and Fahrenheit?
The normal temperature of the body is: - on Celsius scale: 36,5 0C - on Fahrenheit scale: 97,7 0F
