How to convert temperature
Absolute temperatures use an offset. For a temperature difference, one Celsius degree equals 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees; do not apply the absolute-temperature offset.
Temperature scales change the zero point as well as the size of a degree. Celsius to Fahrenheit multiplies by 1.8, then adds 32.
A worked example
20 °C × 1.8 + 32 = 68 °F.
Before you use the result
Displayed values are rounded; extra digits do not make your measurement more accurate. Absolute temperatures use an offset. For a temperature difference, one Celsius degree equals 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees; do not apply the absolute-temperature offset.
