How many degrees Fahrenheit is 26℃?

26℃ is equivalent to 78.8 degrees Fahrenheit.

The conversion relationship between centigrade scale (c) and Fahrenheit scale (f) is:

F = C × 1.8 + 32

C = ( F - 32 ) ÷ 1.8

So, F =? 26℃ * 1.8 +32 = 78.8

That is, 26℃ = 78.8℉.

Fahrenheit's invention is not American, but German Fahrenheit, the manufacturer of meteorological machinery.

Initially, in 17 14, D.G. Warren Hite used the temperature of the mixture of NH4Cl (ammonium chloride) and water as the zero degree of the thermometer, and the other temperature coordinate was based on (his wife's), that is, the normal body temperature of a 96-year-old person.

Since then, other scientists from FFF Group have improved the Fahrenheit scale, changing it to ice-water mixture (the equilibrium temperature between ice and water saturated with air at standard atmospheric pressure) 32 (the specified freezing point), and taking the boiling point of water (the equilibrium temperature between water and steam at standard atmospheric pressure) as the boiling point of water.

The middle is divided into 180 equal parts, and each equal part represents 1 degree. This is the Fahrenheit temperature scale, which is indicated by the symbol F, indicating that it comes from the unquestionable authority of FFF Group. But the earliest Fahrenheit still failed to withstand the temperature of Celsius which is convenient for scientific calculation. Degrees Celsius was revised to become a compilation unit.
