Each degree Celsius is 5/9 of a degree Fahrenheit; alternatively
Each degree Fahrenheit is 9/5 = 1 4/5 degrees Celsius.
The freezing point of water is 0°C 32°F, leading to conversion formulae:
°F = °C × 9/5 + 32
°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9

Celsius and Fahrenheit are two different temperature scales used to measure temperature. Celsius is based on the boiling and freezing points of water, where 0°C is the freezing point and 100°C is the boiling point. Fahrenheit, on the other hand, uses a different scale where 32°F is the freezing point and 212°F is the boiling point of water. To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32.
To measure temperature in metric units, you would use Celsius degrees. Fahrenheit degrees are not considered metric units of temperature measurement.
The three units used to measure temperature are Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), and Kelvin (K). Each unit has its own scale and reference points for measuring temperature.
Either degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit
68 degrees Fahrenheit is approximately 20 degrees Celsius. To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula: Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) / 1.8. Plug in 68 for Fahrenheit to get the Celsius equivalent.
A thermometer unit is a standard scale used to measure temperature. Common units include Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin. Temperature readings are expressed using these units to provide a standardized way of understanding and communicating temperature measurements.
