Unit History
About fahrenheit
Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit introduced his temperature scale in 1724, basing it on a mixture of ice, water, and salt as 0° and average human body temperature near 96°. The Fahrenheit scale remains common in the United States and a few other regions for weather and cooking.
About celsius
Developed by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742, the Celsius scale sets water's freezing point at 0° and boiling point at 100° at standard atmospheric pressure. It is the most widely used temperature scale in science and everyday life worldwide.
