Frequently asked questions

What is normal body temperature in both units?
About 37°C, which is 98.6°F.

Why isn't the conversion just a simple multiplication?
Celsius and Fahrenheit have different zero points as well as different scale sizes (0°C = 32°F, and each Celsius degree equals 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees), so the formula needs both a multiplication and an offset.
