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 kelvin
The Kelvin scale, named for Lord Kelvin, is the SI base unit for thermodynamic temperature. Anchored at absolute zero, it is essential for scientific calculations that require an absolute temperature reference.
