The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature measurement system that was proposed by the German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in the early 18th century. In this scale, the freezing point of water is set at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (32°F), while the boiling point is at 212 degrees Fahrenheit (212°F) under standard atmospheric conditions. This system is primarily used in the United States and a few other countries, distinguishing it from the Celsius scale, which is more widely used globally.
One of the defining features of the Fahrenheit scale is its division of temperature into smaller increments. Each degree Fahrenheit represents a smaller change in temperature compared to a degree Celsius. Despite its historical significance, the Fahrenheit scale is often criticized for being less intuitive than the Celsius scale, especially for scientific applications.
