Is that celesius or the other one?

Below -40 degrees, Celsius and Fahrenheit remain identically the same as each other.

@SW-User For realzies?.. They the same at that level?

Yes, for sure. As Fahrenheit and Celsius decline in value below their respective freezing points (32F/ 0C), the temperature scales of both converge and finally intersect each other at -40 degrees F and C.

@SW-User Ah right. Confusing.🤪

Very true! The temperature scales when placed side by side, actually form a 'V' shape, where at the bottom of the V, both are the same at -40.
But as you go up in temperature, both scales diverge away from each other forming that 'V' shape, where +40 degrees Celsius is now 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

@SW-User Below -40 they diverge again.

That is correct. As I previously stated, both scales converge and finally intersect each other at -40 degrees F and C.
