The Fahrenheit scale (named for Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit) was used in the English system of measurement, until generally replaced by the Celsius (centigrade) scale.
Fahrenheit is still used in the US, but almost exclusively for:
- public weather statements (air temperatures and dew points)
- body temperatures
- oven temperatures
The Rankine scale is used. On that scale, you use Fahrenheit-size degrees,
but the zero of the scale is at -459.67
Absolute : Kelvin in SI system & Rankine in English (aka Imperial) system
Ordinary : Celsius in SI system & Fahrenheit in English (aka Imperial) system
both Centigrade and Fahrenheit are used. But Fahrenheit was not used in schools since the mid '70s
The Rankine scale is used. On that scale, you use Fahrenheit-size degrees,
but the zero of the scale is at -459.67° F.
The centigrade temperature scale in the Metric system was renamed in honour of Charles Celsius.
Celsius.
Anders Celsius developed a scale for temperature measurement in 1742 that used the freezing and boiling points of water as its basis. This became know as both the Centigrade Scale and the Celsius Scale.
Celsius is a measurement of temperature. Celsius takes the freezing point of water and the boiling point of water, and divides the temperature difference into 100 equal degrees, calling freezing zero, and boiling one hundred. The same sized degrees are used to extend the scale below zero and above one hundred. The SI unit of temperature is the kelvin. the kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, and the units are the same size as degrees celsius, so the freezing point of water is 273.16K. Measurements in kelvin are not called degrees.

The Fahrenheit scale was traditionally used in the English system of measurement until largely supplanted by the Celsius scale. Measurements in the Fahrenheit scale are generally used only in the US, almost exclusively for air temperatures, body temperatures, and oven temperatures.Another scale that uses English degree units is the Rankine scale, which is based on absolute zero.
Science measurements use the metric system and the Celsius temperature scale is used for most measurements. The Kelvin scale is also used for measurements approaching absolute zero.
The spelling is "Fahrenheit", an English temperature scale, while "Celsius" is the metric scale. The measurements are not "opposite", merely on a different scale.
The Rankine scale is used. On that scale, you use Fahrenheit-size degrees, but the zero of the scale is at -459.67
The scientific standard for laboratory temperature measurements is usually the Centigrade scale, also known as Celsius.
The scientists who were behind the temperature measurements scale were quite a number. Galileo Galilei invented the water thermoscope, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit was responsible for the Fahrenheit scale, Kelvin scale was invented by Lord Kelvin and Anders Celsius invented the Celsius scale.
Kelvin. Both Celsius and Kelvin are measurements of temperature in the metric system, and both have the same size of degree. The only difference between them is that Kelvin has been shifted down the scale so that 0 degrees Kelvin is absolute zero, the coldest possible temperature.
The centigrade temperature scale in the Metric system was renamed in honour of Charles Celsius.
The Richter scale is based on measurements of *Amplitude*. (^_^)
The English scale for temperature is "Fahrenheit" (°F).
An advantage of the Kelvin scale is that all the temperatures on this scale are positive. Another advantage is that the temperature in Kelvin is directly proportional to the total internal energy of the substance: if you double the internal energy, you will double the temperature in Kelvin.
