Celsius

The Celsius scale, also known as the centigrade scale, is a temperature scale used in most of the world. It is based on the freezing point of water at 0 degrees and the boiling point of water at 100 degrees, with 100 degrees between these two points. The Celsius scale was developed by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742.

Converting Celsius to Fahrenheit

To convert a temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the following formula:

Fahrenheit = (Celsius × 9/5) + 32

Converting Celsius to Kelvin

To convert a temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, you can use the following formula:

Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15
