No. Although both confusingly use the term "degree", the two intervals are not the same. A change of a number of degrees in Celsius would be a much greater numerical change in Fahrenheit. In terms of actual values, a "degree" in Celsius is 1.8 times as large an interval as a "degree" in Fahrenheit.

Explanation

In Fahrenheit, freezing is 32° and boiling is 212° so there are 180 degrees in between. In the Celsius system there are only 100 (larger) degrees between those marks, so the ratio is 180/100 or 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees = 1 Celsius degree.

Example : If a temperature changes by 5°C, from 20°C to 25°, the corresponding Fahrenheit temperatures increase by 9°F, from 68°F to 77°F.

What is the Fahrenheit to Celsius ratio?

1 Fahrenheit degree = 5/9 of one Celsius degrees 1 Celsius degree = 1.8 Fahrenheit degree There is no constant ratio between the °F and °C numbers for the same temperature, because their zeros are at different temperatures. A Celsius number less than -40° is colder than the same Fahrenheit number. A Celsius number more than -40° is warmer than the same Fahrenheit number. And -40° is the same actual temperature in both °F and °C.
