180 Fahrenheit to Celsius
180 degrees Fahrenheit equals
82.22°C
82.22 degrees Celsius
180°F converts to 82.22°C, hot enough for brewing and steeping. Green tea is usually brewed near 80°C (176°F), while coffee extraction sits closer to 93°C (199.4°F).
How to convert 180°F to °C
Formula
°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9
Substituting 180°F
- 180 − 32 = 148
- 148 × 5/9 = 82.22
Fahrenheit places the freezing point of water at 32 rather than 0, so that offset comes off first. What remains is then scaled by 5/9, because a Celsius degree covers 1.8 times as much temperature change as a Fahrenheit degree.
How 180°F compares
| Reference point | Temperature | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Freezing point of water | 0°C / 32°F | 82.2°C (148°F) warmer |
| Room temperature | 21°C / 69.8°F | 61.2°C (110.2°F) warmer |
| Body temperature | 37°C / 98.6°F | 45.2°C (81.4°F) warmer |
| Boiling point of water | 100°C / 212°F | 17.8°C (32°F) colder |
