Some information (C vs F):
Celsius is used by pretty much every country on the planet except for the United States, its territories and a few other small nations. The scientific community also uses Celsius for many practices.
The numbers Celsius is based around – 0 degrees for freezing and 100 degrees for boiling – are more straight forward and make more sense. Fahrenheit, however, has the benefit of being more precise. For example, while 32 degrees Fahrenheit = 0 degrees Celsius, 35 degrees Fahrenheit = 1.6 degrees Celsius, which would likely be rounded up to 2°C to avoid having to use decimals.
Can you imagine reading a weather forecast that says a high temperature of 23.3°C? That’s equivalent to 74°F. 23.3 would likely be rounded down to 23, so Fahrenheit does allow for more "sensitive" readings.
