Fahrenheit

Definition: The Fahrenheit (symbol: °F) is a unit of temperature that was widely used prior to metrication. It is currently defined by ii fixed points: the temperature at which water freezes, 32°F, and the boiling point of water, 212°F, both at sea level and standard atmospheric pressure level. The interval between the freezing and boiling point is divided into 180 equal parts.

History/Origin: The Fahrenheit calibration was developed based on a measurement proposed in 1724 by the German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. He initially based the scale on an equal water ice-salt mixture, selecting the values of thirty°F for the freezing point of water, and ninety°F for normal trunk temperature. He later adapted the calibration such that the melting point of ice was 32°F and body temperature was 96°F. He chose these values to simplify the degree markings he could make on his instruments, since this difference between the temperatures allowed him to mark degree lines by bisecting the interval six times. Later, when using the freezing and boiling points of water equally fixed reference points for thermometers became popular, the scale was slightly re-defined such that there would be 180 degrees separating freezing and humid point, resulting in normal human body temperature beingness approximately 98°F, rather than Fahrenheit's 96°F.

Current utilise: Until the 1960'southward the Fahrenheit scale was the primary scale used in English language-speaking countries. Today, nearly countries around the world apply the Celsius temperature scale instead, many having fabricated the alter during their metrication processes (conversion to using the metric organization of units). Notwithstanding, the Fahrenheit scale is notwithstanding used as the official temperature scale in a number of countries, including the United States (too every bit its unincorporated territories), the Bahamas, Belize, the Cayman Islands, and a few others.

Celsius

Definition: The Celsius (symbol: °C) is an SI (International System of Units) derived unit of temperature. Information technology is defined based on the SI unit of temperature, the kelvin. The Celsius and Kelvin scales are precisely related, with a one-degree modify in Celsius existence equal to a one degree-change in kelvin. The kelvin (and thus Celsius) is defined based on the Boltzmann constant, k, which equals 1.380649 × x^-23 when expressed in the unit J·M^-one, a unit equivalent to kg·one thousand²·southward^-2·K^-1. The kilogram, meter, and second, are defined based on Planck's constant, h, the speed of light, c, and cesium frequency, ΔνCs.

History/origin: From 1743 until 1954, the Celsius scale was based on 0°C for the freezing point of water and 100 °C for the boiling indicate of water, both at a pressure level of one standard temper, using mercury as the working fabric. This was not e'er the case, and originally 0°C was divers as the boiling betoken of h2o and 100°C was defined equally the melting indicate of snowfall. Celsius equally a unit and a scale was not widely used until this original definition was inverted. In 1954, the unit, "degree Celsius," equally well as the Celsius scale were once again re-defined to instead exist based on absolute cypher (-273.15 °C) and the triple signal of VSMOW (peculiarly purified water). This is the definition that was used up until 2019, when the kelvin was redefined based on the definitions of the second, meter, and kilogram.

Electric current use: The Celsius scale replaced the Fahrenheit scale in virtually countries in the mid to late 20^th century. Almost all countries around the world use this scale, except for those in which the metric system has non been adopted, such as the Usa. Even in countries similar the United States all the same, Celsius is widely used inside the scientific community—it just is not widely used in everyday temperature references.
