Converting Fahrenheit to Celsius is one of the most complicated measurement conversions out there, today I am going to share with you how to do that and I am going to provide an example of how to convert 360 Fahrenheit to Celsius.
Why converting temperature units is more complicated?
All measurement units have the same starting point, for example, the distance units cm and meters all start at zero, when you advance you just add the units you advanced.
The most commonly used temperature units, Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Rankine do not start at the same point, for example, the water freezes at 0°C or at -32°F, so you can just do the simple conversion, you will need to run through an equation to get an answer.
The Difference Between Degree Celsius (°C) and Degree Fahrenheit (°F)
A thermometer can help us determine how cold or hot a substance is. Temperature is in most of the world measured and reported in degrees Celsius (°C). In the U.S. it is common to report the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (°F). In the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales the temperatures where ice melts (water freezes) and water boils are used as reference points.
- In the Celsius scale, the freezing point of water is defined as 0 °C and the boiling point is defined as 100 °C
- On the Fahrenheit scale, the water freezes at 32 °F and boils at 212 °F
How to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius
0 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to -17.77778 degrees Celsius:
0 °F = -17.77778 °C
The temperature T in degrees Celsius (°C) is equal to the temperature T in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) minus 32, times 5/9:
T(°C) = (T(°F) – 32) × 5/9
or
T(°C) = (T(°F) – 32) / (9/5)
or
T(°C) = (T(°F) – 32) / 1.8
360 Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion
How to convert 360 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius.
The temperature T in degrees Celsius (°C) is equal to the temperature T in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) minus 32, times 5/9:
T(°C) = (T(°F) – 32) × 5/9 = (360°F – 32) × 5/9 = 182.2222°C
So 360 degrees Fahrenheit are equal to 182.2222 degrees Celsius:
360°F = 182.2222°C
How do you convert C to F without a calculator?
Without a calculator, there are many means to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit. Multiply the Celsius temperature by 1.8 and add 32 to get the Fahrenheit conversion With this method you get the exact temperature conversion degree.
If I wanted to convert 182.2°C to F I would take 182.2x 1.8+32=359.96°F
What is the difference between 1 degree Celsius and 1 degree Fahrenheit?
On the Celsius scale, there are 100 degrees between the freezing point and the boiling point of water compared to 180 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale. This means that 1 °C = 1.8 °F.
Which is colder C or F?
They are equally cold. It is at -40 that the two scales give the same reading. “The Fahrenheit and Celsius scales converge at −40 degrees (i.e. −40 °F and −40 °C represent the same temperature).
What is the Fahrenheit to Celsius ratio?
To convert temperatures in degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply by 1.8 (or 9/5) and add 32.
Conclusion
That is it, this is how to convert 360 Fahrenheit to Celsius. I hope it was somehow useful to you. Thank you for reading.
