Fahrenheit
The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature measurement scale used in the United States and a few other countries. It was developed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724. On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees and the boiling point of water is 212 degrees at standard atmospheric pressure. The Fahrenheit scale is commonly used for weather forecasts, cooking, and in the United States for everyday temperature measurements.
Converting Fahrenheit to Celsius
To convert a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the following formula:
Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) * 5/9
Converting Fahrenheit to Kelvin
To convert a temperature from Fahrenheit to Kelvin, you can use the following formula:
Kelvin = (Fahrenheit - 32) * 5/9 + 273.15
