Global warming is a long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system. The term commonly refers to the mainly human-caused/influenced observed warming. The largest human influence has been the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.

At what temperature is Centigrade equal to Fahrenheit?


-40 degrees


The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale based on one proposed in 1724 by Dutch–German–Polish physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. It uses the degree Fahrenheit (symbol: °F) as the unit. 



On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) and the boiling point is 212 °F (at standard atmospheric pressure). This puts the boiling and freezing points of water 180 degrees apart.[4] Therefore, a degree on the Fahrenheit scale is 1⁄180 of the interval between the freezing point and the boiling point. On the Celsius scale, the freezing and boiling points of water are 100 degrees apart. A temperature interval of 1 °F is equal to an interval of 5⁄9 degrees Celsius. The Fahrenheit and Celsius scales intersect at −40° (i.e., −40 °F = −40 °C).


Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius conversion formula:

[°C] = ([°F] − 32) × 5⁄9
