Fahrenheit / Celsius Units Definition
Fahrenheit
Dual-scale alcohol thermometer. Degrees Fahrenheit (°F) is a unit of temperature measurement proposed by German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724. In this scale, water has a melting point of 32 degrees and a boiling point of around 212 degrees.
Celsius
The degree Celsius is a unit of temperature measurement. 0°C corresponds to the temperature at which water turns to ice under a pressure of one atmosphere. The degree Celsius is equal to the Kelvin (K), the Celsius scale being 273.15° off the Kelvin scale, which starts at absolute zero (-273.15°C).
