You have tthree problems:

The keyword is def, not Def, so rewrite like:
def main():

> Celsius = float (input ("What is the Celsius temperature? "))

You have not indented the suite of code that runs in main, so set your
editor to print 4 spaces when tab is pressed, and tab each line under
main.


> Main ()


You defined main() but you called Main.  Python is case sensitive, so
change this to main()
