What would be a smaller increase in degrees 5 Celsius or 5 Fahrenheit?
5 Fahrenheit is a smaller increase of temperature than 5 Celsius.
Why is it that temperatures at -40 degrees celsius and Fahrenheit are the same?
There are two reasons for this. The first is that a Fahrenheit degree is smaller than a Celsius degree. Four Celsius degrees is the same size as nine Fahrenheit degrees. The second reason is that 32 degrees Fahrenheit is zero degrees Celsius. If you put those two ideas together you figure out that -40°F = -40°C.
How many degrees fahrenheit make one degree celsius?
A degree Celsius, although it has the same name, is equal to 1.8 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale. You can see that for the freezing and boiling points of water, there are 100 Celsius degrees (100-0) between the two temperatures, while there are 180 (212-32) of the smaller fahrenheit degrees.
Is 45 degrees Fahrenheit greater than 45 degrees celsius?
No. For temperatures, 45°C is much hotter than 45°F (equal to 7.22°C). Likewise, a change in temperature of 45 "degrees" on the Celsius scale is a much larger change than 45 "degrees" on the Fahrenheit scale. The Fahrenheit "degrees" are smaller intervals. Technically the numbers have the same value, but on different scales.
Is a celsius degree smaller than a Fahrenheit degree?
No. A hunder degrees C spans the same range as 180 degrees F. So a C degree is 1.8 times as large as a F degree.
