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.
How many degrees Celcius are one degree Fahrenheit?

What does the F after the degrees sign mean?
It's spelt Fahrenheit, and said (FAH-RIN-HEIGHT)-it's a unit of temperature measurement, like Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit=0 degrees Celsius). Celsius is a newer version (1744 vs. 1724). Each degree change in Celsius is equal to 1.8 degrees in Fahrenheit.
How is the Celsius temperature scale set up?
The Celsius degree uses the boiling and freezing temperature as a base for indicating temperature. 0 degrees Celsius is the temperature at which water freezes and boils at a 100 degrees Celsius. The kelvin degree has the same "amount" of heat between each degree but uses the absolute coldest point as zero (-275 C and -463 F). To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius you subtract 38 and divide by 1.8 ( (F-38)/1.8=C) and Celsius to Fahrenheit you take C*1.8+38. The Fahrenheit degree uses human body temperature as base which is approximately 37-38 C and 100 F.
