Fahrenheit is an old temperature scale named after Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), the German physicist who proposed it in 1724. It is still used in the USA. In this scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) and the boiling point 212 °F, placing the boiling and freezing points of water exactly 180 degrees apart. A degree on the Fahrenheit scale is 1/180th part of interval between the ice point and steam point or boiling point. On the Celsius scale, the freezing and boiling points of water are exactly 100 degrees apart, hence the unit of this scale. A temperature interval of one degree Fahrenheit is an interval of 5⁄9 of a degree Celsius. The Fahrenheit and Celsius scales coincide at −40 degrees; i.e. −40 °F and −40 °C describe the same temperature.

Why temperature of a patient is measured in Fahrenheit?
The temperature of a person may be measured in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. Measuring temperature in Fahrenheit is unusual these days, as SI units are normally used.
Can heat be measured in degrees Fahrenheit?
No, Fahrenheit is the Imperial Unit for temperature, not heat. Heat is energy in transit and is measured in joules (in the SI sytem).
What unit is temperture measured in?

Temperature is usually measured in degrees?
The most common units for temperature are Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F), which are both measured in degrees. Another unit for temperature is Kelvin (K), which is the SI unit and is not measured in degrees.
How is temperature is measured?
Temperature is usually measured with a thermometer which tells you how many degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit the temperature is (Fahrenheit is the American measure and Celsius is what everyone else uses)
Temperature is measured in what three scales?
