What is a Fahrenheit?
The Fahrenheit scale is used primarily in the United States for everyday temperature, with water freezing at 32 °F and boiling at 212 °F at standard pressure. It was proposed by German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724, using brine, melting ice, and approximate body temperature as reference points. Because a Fahrenheit degree is 5/9 the size of a Celsius degree, Fahrenheit gives finer resolution for typical ambient temperatures. Normal human body temperature is approximately 98.6 °F (37 °C).
What is a Celsius?
The Celsius scale is the world standard for expressing everyday temperature, with 0 °C defined as the freezing point of pure water and 100 °C as the boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure (101.325 kPa). Proposed by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742, it is used for weather reporting, cooking, and medicine in virtually every country. Celsius degrees and Kelvin degrees are equal in size; the scales differ only in their zero point. A comfortable indoor temperature is typically 20–22 °C.
