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.
Réaumur (°Ré)
Definition
Réaumur (°Ré) is a temperature scale where 0°Ré equals the freezing point of water and 80°Ré equals the boiling point of water.
History
The Réaumur scale was proposed in 1730 by René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur, a French scientist. It was widely used across Europe, particularly in France, Germany, and Russia, until the late 19th century.
Current use
The Réaumur scale is nearly obsolete but still occasionally referenced in European cheese-making and some Italian candy-making traditions. It also appears in historical scientific texts.
