Fahrenheit (°F)

Definition

Fahrenheit (°F) is an imperial temperature scale where 32°F is the freezing point of water and 212°F is the boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure.

History

The Fahrenheit scale was proposed in 1724 by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, a German-Dutch physicist. He based his scale on three reference points: brine freezing (0°F), water freezing (32°F), and human body temperature (96°F, later corrected to 98.6°F).

Current use

Fahrenheit is the primary temperature scale in the United States for weather, cooking, and everyday use. It is also used in some Caribbean countries and occasionally in the United Kingdom alongside Celsius.

Newton (°N)

Definition

Newton (°N) is a temperature scale where 0°N equals the freezing point of water and 33°N equals the boiling point of water.

History

The Newton scale was devised around 1700 by Sir Isaac Newton. It was one of the earliest attempts to create a standardized temperature scale and predates both Fahrenheit and Celsius.

Current use

The Newton temperature scale is not used in any modern practical application. It is studied in the history of science and thermometry as an early example of temperature standardization.
