what is the difference between fahrenheit and cellcious

They are both unit of Temperature. The equation to get from one to the other is
Tc = (5/9)*(Tf-32)
where,
Tc = temperature in Celsius
Tf = temperature in Fahrenheit

fahrenheit is the old temperature scale (32 is freezing, 212 is boiling)
Celsius (or Centigrade) is the metric temperature scale (0 is freezing, 100 is boiling)
same as the difference between Kelvin and Rankine
Fahrenheit established 0°F as the stabilized temperature when equal amounts of ice, water, and salt are mixed. He then defined 96°F as the temperature "when the thermometer is held in the mouth or under the armpit of a living man in good health."
Celsius: 0°C and 100°C are arbitrarily placed at the melting and boiling points of water and standard to the metric system
