How the conversion works
The formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is:
°F = °C × 9/5 + 32
Applied to 100°C:
- 100 × 9/5 = 180
- 180 + 32 = 212°F
Why is 100°C special?
100°C (212°F) is the boiling point of water at sea level — the single most-remembered conversion anchor between the two scales. It is why recipes say 'bring to a rolling boil'. At high altitude water boils cooler (roughly 93°C in Denver), while in a pressure cooker it reaches 120°C and cooks food much faster.
