Other contributors have said "The freezing point of water on the centrigrade scale is higher than the freezing point on the fahrenheit scale?" is the same question as "What are the freezing point and boiling point for water on the Celsius scale?".

What are the freezing point and boiling point for water on the Celsius scale?

Answer:

the freezing point of water on the Celsius scale = 0 Degree






The Celsius scale was actually based off of the boiling and freezing points of water. Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius [32 degrees Fahrenheit (273.15 degrees Kelvin)] and boils at 100 degrees Celsius[212 degrees Fahrenheit ( degrees 373.15 Kelvin)].

Here are the conversions:
(F for Fahrenheit, C for Celsius, K for Kelvin)

Fahrenheit to Celsius: F-32*5/9=C

Celsius to Fahrenheit: C*9/5+32=F

Fahrenheit to Kelvin: (F-32)*5/9-273.15=K

Kelvin to Fahrenheit: (K+273.15)*9/5+32=F

Celsius to Kelvin: C-273.15=K

Kelvin to Celsius: K+273.15=C

Note: The boiling and freezing points are based on sea level. The boiling point of water increases by 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit per 500 feet of elevation; the freezing point is barely affected as it doesn't deal with gas molecules like boiling does, and the elevation affects it because of lessened air pressure.
