    In the book 'Fahrenheit 451' we find out this is the temperature at which paper burns. Is this true, and what would it be in degrees centrigrade?

    		232.78C is 451F. I couldn't find what the exact temperature paper burns on the internet. Good question.

    HERE IS HOW TO CONVERT FAHRENHEIT INTO CELCIUS.

    Determine the temperature in Fahrenheit. Using your calculator, subtract 32. Multiply the result times 5. Divide that answer by 9. Your final answer is the temperature in Celsius.

    		Ignition temperature is the temperature at which something catches fire and burns on its own. The ignition temperature of paper is 451 degrees Fahrenheit, or 233 degrees Celsius.
