Mathematical conversion of Celsius and Fahrenheit degrees. One degree Celsius = 5/9 degree Fahrenheit. Temperature of 0^ Celsius = 32^ Fahrenheit. Our ASCII scale can show the temperature of 10^ Celsius = 50^ Fahrenheit exactly across from each other. But the other round number temperatures in the usual weather range are the equivalent of a number other than a multiple of five, so the -- marks showing degree in multiples of five can't line up across from each other. Hope this helps Cheers Donald
