What is the Fahrenheit scale?
The temperature scale known as the Fahrenheit scale is named for Daniel Fahrenheit (1686-1736). Fahrenheit established a zero point (for freezing brine) and defined water's melting point (32°) and human body temperature (originally 60°). Later refinements by others altered the scale, setting body temperature near 98° and water's boiling point at 212°.Fahrenheit wrote of working with a similar scale devised by Ole Rømer (1644-1710).Only the US still uses the Fahrenheit scale to any great extent. The SI metric unit is the degree on the Celsius scale, which is different.
