Celsius degrees are larger than Fahrenheit degrees, by a factor of 9/5 = 1.8. It only takes 100 degC to span the temperature difference between freezing and boiling water, while it takes 212 - 32 = 180 degF to span the same temperature difference.

Is the Celsius temperature scale larger than the Fahrenheit scale?

No, the Celsius scale is not larger than the Fahrenheit scale. The Celsius scale is based on water freezing at 0 degrees and boiling at 100 degrees, while the Fahrenheit scale has a freezing point of 32 degrees and a boiling point of 212 degrees.


Which is greater an increase of 5 degrees Fahrenheit or an increase of 5 degrees celsius?

An increase of 5 degrees Celsius is greater than an increase of 5 degrees Fahrenheit because the Celsius scale is larger than the Fahrenheit scale. In Fahrenheit, an increase of 1 degree is equivalent to 0.5556 degrees in Celsius.


Compare the Celsius scale to the Fahrenheit scale?

The Fahrenheit scale and Celsius scale are different one way by temperature limits. 1. On the Fahrenheit scale, water freezes at 32 degrees. On the Celsius scale, water freezes at 0 degrees. 2. On Fahrenheit scale, comfortable room temp. is 70-80 degrees. Celsius: 20-30 degrees. 3. Normal body temp: 98.6 degrees(fahrenheit) 37 degrees(celsius) 4.Highest recorded air temp: 136.5 degrees(fahrenheit) 58 degrees(celsius) 5. Water boils at 212 degrees(fahrenheit) 100 degrees(celcius) :D

Are celsius and Fahrenheit degrees the same size?

No. Celsius "degrees" are larger than Fahrenheit "degrees", and so represent a larger change in temperature. One Celsius "degree" is equal to 1.8 Fahrenheit "degrees". The Fahrenheit scale has 180 divisions (degrees) between 32° and 212° - the freezing and boiling points of water. The Celsius scale has only 100 divisions (degrees) between 0° and 100° - the freezing and boiling points of water. So the Celsius degrees are "larger" degrees, and a change in temperature in Celsius will be 1.8 times as large on the Fahrenheit scale. That is where the 5/9 and 9/5 fractions come in on the conversion formulas. (see related question)
