People in the United States know that water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. In Europe, people know that water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.

Is the water in the U.S. different than the water in Europe? What explains the two different temperatures?

No , the water is identical, but because we know that c/5 = f-32/9, where c is **Celsius **and f is Fahrenheit , the thermometer scales differ. (This is how they are linked.)
What is Fahrenheit and Celsius?
The difference between **Celsius **and **Fahrenheit **is 1.8. In other words, 1 degree Fahrenheit is equivalent to 5/9 degree Celsius. Despite having rather significant variances, these two temperature scales collide at -40 degrees,

The Celsius scale, sometimes known as the centigrade scale , is a scale of temperature that is based on the freezing point of water at 0°C and the boiling point of water at 100°C. As a result, 100/5=212-32/9, which equals 20=180/9. The Fahrenheit temperature **scale **is based on the fact that water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F.

Water boils at different temperatures in the U.S. (212 °F) and Europe (100 °C) due to the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales. Both measurements refer to the same physical phenomenon of boiling water, and the difference is purely in how temperature is measured. The conversions show that these two temperatures represent the same point in the physical world.
