You're likely confusing the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales. Here's why:
* Fahrenheit (F) is one temperature scale where water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees.
* Celsius (C) is another scale where water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees.
The conversion between the two scales is as follows:
* Celsius to Fahrenheit: (C * 9/5) + 32 = F
* Fahrenheit to Celsius: (F - 32) * 5/9 = C
Therefore, 0 degrees Celsius is equal to 32 degrees Fahrenheit, not -17 degrees Fahrenheit.
