Convert Celsius (°C) to Fahrenheit (°F) instantly with our fast, accurate, and mobile-friendly temperature converter. Ideal for students, weather, travel, and science.

Understanding Celsius and Fahrenheit

Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) are the two most widely used temperature scales in the world. Celsius is part of the metric system and used by most countries globally, including all of Europe, India, Australia, and China. Fahrenheit, on the other hand, is primarily used in the United States and a few Caribbean nations.

The Celsius scale sets the freezing point of water at 0°C and the boiling point at 100°C under standard atmospheric pressure. Fahrenheit sets the freezing point at 32°F and boiling at 212°F, giving a wider numeric range.

Celsius to Fahrenheit Formula

The conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit is straightforward. You multiply the Celsius value by 9/5 and then add 32. Mathematically:

°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32

For example, to convert 25°C:

(25 × 9/5) + 32 = 77°F
