The two temperature scales do not have the same unit size. The difference between 80 and 90 ºF is not the same size as between 80 to 90 ºC. Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) x 5/9
Fahrenheit = 5/9 ( Centigrade - 32)
Minus 17 degrees C = +1.4 degrees F 82 - 1.4 = 80.6 Fahrenheit degrees difference or 80.6 * 5/9 = 44.78 Celsius degrees difference Above answers are Number of Degrees Difference - not temperature.
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.
