68 degrees Fahrenheit equals:
20 degrees Celsius How to Convert 68 Fahrenheit to CelsiusTo convert from 68 Fahrenheit to Celsius, use the following formula and calculation:
°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9 °C = (68 - 32) × 5/9 °C = 36.00 × 5/9 °C = 20 Answer : 68° f = 20° c Understanding the Fahrenheit to Celsius ConversionThe Fahrenheit scale is where water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F at standard atmospheric pressure.
The Celsius scale is based on the freezing and boiling points of water, with freezing set at 0°C and boiling at 100°C at standard atmospheric pressure.

Why do we use different temperature scales?Different temperature scales were developed for different purposes throughout history:
Celsius is commonly used in scientific contexts and for everyday measurements in most countries Fahrenheit is primarily used in the United States for everyday measurements Kelvin is the SI unit of temperature used in scientific contexts, especially in physics Rankine is an absolute scale that extends the Fahrenheit scale, used in some engineering fields What temperature is the same in Celsius and Fahrenheit?The temperature where Celsius and Fahrenheit scales meet is -40 degrees. That is, -40°C = -40°F.
