How many degrees Fahrenheit is 37℃?

37 degrees is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

Only five countries in the world use Fahrenheit, including Bahamas, Belize, British Cayman Islands, Palau, the United States and its dependent territories (Puerto Rico, Guam and the United States Virgin Islands). Fahrenheit (F) is a kind of degree-day, named after its inventor, the German Warren Hite.

1724, he found that liquid metal mercury was more suitable for making thermometers than alcohol. He invented the glass mercury thermometer with mercury as the temperature measuring medium. The freezing point of the mixture of ammonium chloride and ice water is chosen as the zero degree of thermometer, and the human body temperature is 100 degrees. At standard atmospheric pressure, the melting point of ice is 32℉, the boiling point of water is 2 12℉, and there are 180 equal parts in the middle, and each equal part is 1 Fahrenheit, which is recorded as "1℉".

Fahrenheit development background:

Until 1960, Fahrenheit scale was the main temperature standard for climate, industry and medical treatment in English-speaking countries. In the late1960s and1970s, centigrade scale replaced the Fahrenheit scale in almost all these countries (except the United States and in some cases Britain), usually in the process of its universal metric system.

Fahrenheit is used for daily use in the United States, its territories and related States (all served by the National Weather Service), Cayman Islands and Liberia. For example, weather forecast, food cooking and freezing temperature in the United States are usually measured in Fahrenheit. Scientists, including meteorologists, use degrees Celsius or Kelvin in all countries.

As early as the 20th century, halsey and Dell suggested that the reasons why the United States opposed the use of the Celsius (now Celsius) system included the larger size per Celsius and the lower zero of the Fahrenheit system.

Canada has passed legislation supporting the international system of units, while retaining the legal definition of the traditional Canadian English units. Weather forecasts in Canada use degrees Celsius and occasionally mention degrees Fahrenheit, especially in cross-border broadcasting. Almost all Canadian ovens still use Fahrenheit. Digital and analog thermometers sold in Canada usually use two scales: Celsius and Fahrenheit.
