When we talk about converting temperatures from Celsius to Fahrenheit, we are essentially trying to express a temperature in the Fahrenheit scale that is equivalent to the given temperature in Celsius. In this case, we are given 180 degrees Celsius and we need to find its equivalent in Fahrenheit.
The answer to converting 180 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit is 356 degrees Fahrenheit.
To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, we can use the following conversion formula:
°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
Let's apply this formula to solve the problem step by step.
Put Celsius into the formula:
°F = (180 × 9/5) + 32
Calculate Fahrenheit:
°F = (324/5) + 32
°F = 64.8 + 32
°F = 96.8
Therefore, 180 degrees Celsius is equal to 356 degrees Fahrenheit.
Celsius is a temperature scale commonly used in most of the world. It is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, who first proposed it in 1742. The Celsius scale divides the temperature range between the freezing and boiling points of water into 100 equal intervals.
The symbol for degrees Celsius is "°C". It is placed after the numerical value to indicate that the temperature is measured in Celsius.
Fahrenheit is another temperature scale commonly used in the United States and a few other countries. It is named after the German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, who introduced it in the early 18th century. The Fahrenheit scale divides the temperature range between the freezing and boiling points of water into 180 equal intervals.
The symbol for degrees Fahrenheit is "°F". It is placed after the numerical value to indicate that the temperature is measured in Fahrenheit.
The conversion formula between Celsius and Fahrenheit was derived by Anders Celsius himself. He initially defined the freezing point of water as 100 degrees and the boiling point as 0 degrees on his scale. However, this was later reversed by Carl Linnaeus, another Swedish scientist, to the modern convention we use today.
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius and 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
The freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius and 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
To convert 180 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit, we use the conversion formula:
°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
By substituting the value of 180 degrees Celsius into the formula, we find that it is equal to 356 degrees Fahrenheit.
