Temperature:
Is the measure of the relative warmth or coolness of an object. Temperature is measured by
means of a thermometer or other instrument having a scale calibrated in units called degrees.
The size of a degree depends on the particular temperature scale being used. A temperature
scale is determined by choosing two reference temperatures and dividing the temperature difference
between these two points into a certain number of degrees.
The two reference temperatures used for most common scales are the melting point of ice and the
boiling point of water.
On the Celsius temperature scale, or centigrade scale, the melting point is taken as 0°C and the
boiling point as 100°C, and the difference between them is divided into 100 degrees.
On the Fahrenheit temperature scale, the melting point is taken as 32°F and the boiling point
as 212°F, with the difference between them equal to 180 degrees.
We will not even bring up Absolute, Kelvin or any other scale.
To convert Fahrenheit temperatures into Celsius:
Begin by subtracting 32 from the Fahrenheit number.
·Divide the answer by 9.
·Then multiply that answer by 5.
Here's an example:
Change 95 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius:
95 minus 32 is 63. Then, 63 divided by 9 is 7. Finally, 7 times 5 is 35 degrees Celsius.
Time to go to the beach!
To convert Celsius temperatures into Fahrenheit:
·Begin by multiplying the Celsius temperature by 9.
·Divide the answer by 5.
·Now add 32.
Here's an example:
Change 20 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit:
20 times 9 is 180. Then 180 divided by 5 is 36. Finally, 36 plus 32 is 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
That would be a pretty comfortable outside temperature for taking a walk!!
Using an Algebraic Formula:
For the mathematically daring, here is the algebraic formula used for conversion
from Fahrenheit to Celsius:
Tc=(5/9)*(Tf-32) Tf=temperature in degrees Fahrenheit Tc=temperature in degrees Celsius
Now, to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit,:
Tf=(9/5)*Tc+32 Tc=temperature in degrees Celsius Tf=temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
Now for the Latitude of the cache.(NOTE: answer will be DD.dddd)
convert 113.4990284 degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius.
or if you perefer
convert 7.37624333 degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit.
For Longitude of the cache.(NOTE: answer will be DD.dddd)
convert -69.5876333 degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit.
or if you perfer
convert -135.863932 degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius.
Please record the temperature here if you can.
