For example, 10 °C equals 50 °F.
Celsius to Fahrenheit reference table
| Celsius | Fahrenheit |
|---|---|
| 1 °C | 33.8 °F |
| 5 °C | 41 °F |
| 10 °C | 50 °F |
| 25 °C | 77 °F |
| 50 °C | 122 °F |
| 100 °C | 212 °F |
Understanding the result
Keep extra decimal places while you work, then round once at the end. For everyday use, two to four decimal places is usually enough. Scientific, engineering, and regulated work may require a specified precision or reference standard.
Understanding Celsius and Fahrenheit
Celsius and Fahrenheit use different zero points and different degree sizes, so temperature cannot be converted by multiplication alone. First scale the Celsius value by 1.8, then add 32. Water freezes near 0 °C or 32 °F under standard conditions.
- Double the Celsius value and add 30 for a quick everyday estimate.
- Use the exact formula for cooking, laboratory, and technical work.
- A temperature interval of 1 °C equals an interval of 1.8 °F.
