Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. The higher the temperature, the faster the particles are moving. Temperature can be measured in various units, with the most common being Celsius and Fahrenheit.
The Celsius scale is a metric temperature scale where the freezing point of water is defined as 0 degrees Celsius (°C) and the boiling point of water is defined as 100 °C. The Fahrenheit scale is an imperial temperature scale where the freezing point of water is defined as 32 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) and the boiling point of water is defined as 212 °F.
To convert a temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, use the following formula:
°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
Example:
To convert 38 °C to Fahrenheit, use the formula:
°F = (38 °C × 9/5) + 32
°F = (68.4 °F) + 32
Therefore, 38 °C is equal to 100.4 °F.
