A "degree" on the Celsius scale is larger than a "degree" on the Fahrenheit scale.
There are 100 equal intervals (degrees) between 0 °C and 100 °C, the freezing and boiling points of water. There are 180 equal intervals between those same temperatures on the Fahrenheit scale (32 °F and 212 °F). That makes each Celsius degree 1.8 times as large (wide) an interval as the Fahrenheit degree. This is the basis for the "9/5" an "5/9" fractions in the conversion formulas (9/5 = 1.8). Some conversion formulas omit the fractions in favor of multiplying or dividing by 1.8, which is a single step.

If water is freezes at 32 degree Fahrenheit. What does it freeze at converting it to be Celsius scale?
0 degrees Celsius.
Why does the clinical thermometer show degree Fahrenheit when India has adopted degree Celsius?
Each and every thermometer has both the scales that is Fahrenheit and Celsius both. Celsius is not specific for India. You can use the scale that you are comfortable with.
What is the scale for on a thermometer?
The C is Celsius and the F is Fahrenheit. On a Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and boils at 100 degrees Celsius. On a Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit and boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit because Celsius is used world wide and Fahrenheit is used only in the U.S.
What is70 degrees Fahrenheit in Celsius scale?
70 degrees Fahrenheit = 21.1 degrees Celsius.
Does 1.0 Fahrenheit or 1.0 Celsius correspond to larger temperature change?
A change of 1.0 degree Fahrenheit is equivalent to a larger temperature change than a change of 1.0 degree Celsius. This is because the Fahrenheit scale has a smaller degree value compared to the Celsius scale.
What is the larger change in temperature 1 C or 1 F?
A change of 1 degree Celsius is larger than a change of 1 degree Fahrenheit. This is because the Celsius scale has larger degree increments compared to the Fahrenheit scale.
Which is larger one degree celsius or one degree Fahrenheit?
One degree Celsius is larger than one degree Fahrenheit. This is because the Celsius scale is based on the freezing and boiling points of water (0°C and 100°C) while the Fahrenheit scale is based on historical values that do not have a direct correlation to a physical constant like water's freezing and boiling points.
What is greater - a 1 degree rise in the Celsius scale or a 1 degree rise in Fahrenheit scale?
A one degree rise on the Celsius scale is bigger. A one degree rise on the Celsius scale is 1.8 rise on Fahrenheit scale.
Which has the larger value C or F?
A temperature change by one degree on Celsius scale equals temperature change of 1.8 degree on Fahrenheit scale or F (Fahrenheit) = 1.8 C (Celsius) + 32
Which is greater an increasein temperature of one degree celsius or one degree Fahrenheit?
An increase in temperature of one degree Celsius is greater than an increase in temperature of one degree Fahrenheit. This is because the Celsius scale has a larger degree increment than the Fahrenheit scale.
Is the Celsius temperature scale larger than the Fahrenheit scale?
No, the Celsius scale is not larger than the Fahrenheit scale. The Celsius scale is based on water freezing at 0 degrees and boiling at 100 degrees, while the Fahrenheit scale has a freezing point of 32 degrees and a boiling point of 212 degrees.
Which is warmer 1F or 1C why?
1°C is warmer than 1°F. This is because the Celsius scale has a larger degree interval than the Fahrenheit scale, with each degree Celsius representing a greater change in temperature than each degree Fahrenheit.
Which is greater an increase in temperature of 1 celsius degree or an increase of 1 Fahrenheit degree?
Both scales use "degrees" but they are not the same size.Celsius degrees are larger intervals, so a change in "Celsius degrees" is larger than an identical numerical change in "Fahrenheit degrees."A change of 1 Celsius "degree" is the same change as 1.8 Fahrenheit "degrees", as is seen in the difference between the freezing and boiling point of water. 100 Celsius degrees (0° to 100°C) is the same temperature change as 180 Fahrenheit degrees (32° to 212°F).
The Fahrenheit scale has a blank degree size than the Celsius scale?
same size. Between freezing water and boiling water, there are 180 Fahrenheit degrees (32 to 212) and 100 Celsius degrees (0 to 100). So Fahrenheit degrees are smaller, because it takes more of them to cover the same range of temperature. 1 Fahrenheit degree = 5/9 of a Celsius degree (0.555...) 1 Celsius degree = 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees
What is 37.0 degree celsius on the Fahrenheit scale?
37 degrees Celsius = 98.6 Fahrenheit.
What is 68 degrees Celsius in the Fahrenheit scale?
68 degree celsius = 154.4 Fahrenheit
