Do iowans have Fahrenheit or Celsius?
All of the USA uses Fahrenheit, all of Canada uses Celsius
Why do you convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?
Because Celsius is metric, and everybody in the world uses it. But then we in America made our own thing ( Fahrenheit ) and it's too late to go back.
What is the reason you have the celsius and Fahrenheit scale?
Both scales were developed in the early 18th Century. The Fahrenheit scale was proposed by Daniel Fahrenheit. The freezing point of brine set the 0 point. 180 degrees separated the freezing point of water (32 degrees) from the boiling point (212 deg). Anders Celsius introduced the Centigrade scale in which the freezing point was 0 deg and the boiling point was 100 degrees. Centigrade was later renamed Celsius. The Celsius scale is the international standard, used by most countries and scientific communities in all countries. There are some countries, however, that have not fully adopted the Celsius scale, so the Fahrenheit scale remains in use today.
Which countries uses Fahrenheit?
United States is the ONLY country that uses Fahrenheit all the rest use Celsius.
Why does the US still use Fahrenheit?
The USA is very resistant to metrication.The Fahrenheit scale was the primary temperature standard for climatic, industrial and medical purposes in most English-speaking countries until the 1960s. In the late 1960's and 1970's, the Celsius (formerly centigrade) scale was adopted by most of these countries as part of the standardizing process called metrication. Only in the United States and a few other countries does the Fahrenheit system continue to be used, and only for non-scientific use. Most other countries have adopted Celsius as the primary scale in all use, although Fahrenheit continues to be the scale of preference for a minority of people in the UK, particularly when referring to summer temperatures. Most Britons are conversant with both Celsius and Fahrenheit. Resistance to the Celsius system was partly due to the larger size of each degree Celsius, resulting in the need for fractions, where integral Fahrenheit degrees were adequate for much technical work. The lower zero point in the Fahrenheit system reduced the number of negative signs when measurements such as weather data were averagedthe US is used to this system (not keen on change) also they do not use the Metric system either like they do in most countries, they also do not have a Universal health care system, eventually all this will change with different generations one would think.
What are two ways Fahrenheit is different than kelvin or celsius?
The difference between the boiling and freezing point of pure water, at atmospheric pressure, is 100 on both, the degrees Celsius and Kelvin scales. It is 180 on the Fahrenheit scale. The USA and some Caribbean islands are the only countries whose official temperature scale is Fahrenheit; in all other countries, and specially amongst scientists, the scale used is Celsius or Kelvin.

Are kelvin Celsius and Fahrenheit measures of temp?
Kelvin, Celsius, and Fahrenheit are all units of temperature measurement. Kelvin is the SI unit used in scientific contexts, while Celsius is commonly used in most countries for everyday temperature readings. Fahrenheit is mostly used in the United States.

United States is the ONLY country that uses Fahrenheit all the rest use Celsius.
What is used in the U.S Celsius or Fahrenheit?
The Fahrenheit scale was the primary temperature standard for climatic, industrial and medical purposes in most English-speaking countries until the 1960s. In the late 1960s and 1970s, the Celsius (formerly Centigrade) scale was adopted by most of these countries as part of the standardizing process called metrication (or metrification). Only in the United States and a few other countries (such as Belize) does the Fahrenheit system continue to be used, and only for non-scientific use. Most other countries have adopted Celsius as the primary scale in all use.
What are Celsius Fahrenheit and Kelvin?
They are all temperature scales.
Do all countries use Celsius?
Fahrenheit is used in the Bahamas, Belize, the Cayman Islands, Palau, and the United States and associated territories of American Samoa and the U.S. Virgin Islands for everyday applications (although Puerto Rico and Guam, use Celsius alongside Fahrenheit as well). Everyone else uses Celsius.
How cold is 34 degrees?
34 degrees Celsius is equal to 93.2 degrees Fahrenheit, so it is not cold at all.
How cold is 34 degrees Celsius?
34 degrees Celsius is equal to 93.2 degrees Fahrenheit, so it is not cold at all.
Which countries use degrees Celsius?
Fahrenheit remains the official scale for the following countries and territories: the Bahamas,Belize, the Cayman Islands,Palau, and the United States and its associated territories. Everyone else uses Celsius.
