Fahrenheit

Definition: The Fahrenheit (symbol: °F) is a unit of temperature that was widely used prior to metrication. It is currently divers by two stock-still points: the temperature at which water freezes, 32°F, and the boiling point of water, 212°F, both at body of water level and standard atmospheric force per unit area. The interval between the freezing and boiling point is divided into 180 equal parts.

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

Electric current employ: Until the 1960's the Fahrenheit calibration was the main calibration used in English-speaking countries. Today, near countries effectually the earth apply the Celsius temperature scale instead, many having made the change during their metrication processes (conversion to using the metric organization of units). However, the Fahrenheit calibration is still used equally the official temperature calibration in a number of countries, including the The states (likewise as its unincorporated territories), the Bahama islands, 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. It is defined based on the SI unit of temperature, the kelvin. The Celsius and Kelvin scales are precisely related, with a i-degree change in Celsius beingness equal to a i degree-modify in kelvin. The kelvin (and thus Celsius) is divers based on the Boltzmann constant, k, which equals 1.380649 × x^-23 when expressed in the unit J·Thou^-1, a unit of measurement equivalent to kg·one thousand²·due south^-2·Thousand^-1. The kilogram, meter, and 2d, are defined based on Planck'south 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 point of water, both at a pressure of one standard atmosphere, using mercury equally the working material. This was not always the case, and originally 0°C was defined as the humid point of water and 100°C was defined equally the melting point of snow. Celsius as a unit and a scale was not widely used until this original definition was inverted. In 1954, the unit, "degree Celsius," likewise as the Celsius scale were over again re-divers to instead be based on accented zero (-273.15 °C) and the triple point of VSMOW (specially purified water). This is the definition that was used up until 2019, when the kelvin was redefined based on the definitions of the 2d, meter, and kilogram.

Current use: The Celsius scale replaced the Fahrenheit scale in most countries in the mid to tardily 20^th century. Almost all countries around the world employ this scale, except for those in which the metric arrangement has non been adopted, such as the United States. Even in countries like the United States however, Celsius is widely used within the scientific community—it but is not widely used in everyday temperature references.
