Just wondering.
Thanks

No, zero Celsius is equal to 32 degrees Fahrenheit (freezing).
100 degrees Celsius is equal to 212 degrees Fahrenheit (boiling).
So if you increased the zero Celsius by 100 degrees to go from freezing to boiling and added 100 degrees to 32 you would only have 132 degrees Fahrenheit and still be 80 degrees from boiling, therefore Fahrenheit gives a lesser spread between degrees than Celsius.
(9/5 + 32 is the formula to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit)

Nope.
The freezing poing of water is 0 degrees celcius, and 32 degrees farenheit.
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees celsius, one hundred celsius degrees higher, while the boiling point of water is 212 degrees farenheit, a difference of 170 farenheit degrees.

No. The two scales are not equivalent.
One degree Celsius is equal to about 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit.

However, Celsius and Kelvin are the same quantity value, but zero Kelvin is "absolute zero" and zero Celsius is the freezing point of water and "absolute zero is about -273 degrees Celsius.
Just in case you wanted to know.

no.
If you use the formula for converting Celius into Fahreheit or the reverse one degree at a time it comes out different.
