Temperature Scale Comparison
See how Celsius and Fahrenheit relate to each other with aligned scales where 0°C and 32°F are at the same level.
Proportional Visualization: Both scales are aligned at water's freezing point (0°C = 32°F). The same physical distance represents the same temperature change, showing that 1°C = 1.8°F. Notice how the scales diverge as you move away from the freezing point!
Values
Key Insight: The same vertical distance on both scales represents the same temperature change. This shows that Fahrenheit degrees are "smaller" than Celsius degrees (1°C = 1.8°F).
