Fahrenheit, Celsius or Centigrade, Kelvin, Rankine, Reaumur, and others.
Fahrenheit scale says that 32o is the freezing point of water at 14 psi of air.
Celsius/Centigrade, says that the freezing point of water is 0oat 14psi.
Kelvin says that 0o is absolute zero; meaning that nothing can get colder than this: in Fahrenheit scale this temp. is 459o below zero.
Most thermometers have both Fahrenheit and Celsius scales on them.
Fahrenheit is marked with 'F' and Celsius is marked with 'C'.
Also I might mention that Celsius is part of the metric system, and is used in most countries is the world. However, Fahrenheit is part of the English system, and is used still in the United States.
What else can I help you with?
Is the Fahrenheit thermometer scale proportional to the Celsius thermometer scale?
There is nothing special about either scale
What is the index of a thermometer?
The index of a thermometer is the scale or numerical reference used to indicate temperature readings. It can be in either Celsius or Fahrenheit, depending on the type of thermometer.
What is the temperature scale used on most laboratory thermometers?
Temperature scale used on most laboratory thermometers is a thermometer.
What are three tools used to analyze data?
Thermometer, Spring Scale, and a Balance Scale ;-) Math Homework... Suckie! :P
What is the Least count of thermometer scale?
The least count of a thermometer scale is the smallest temperature difference that can be measured by the scale. It is typically based on the precision of the markings on the scale, which can vary depending on the design and calibration of the thermometer.
How many reference temperature points are needed to create a thermometer scale?
Two reference temperature points are needed to create a thermometer scale. These points are used to calibrate the scale and typically consist of the freezing and boiling points of a substance, such as water.
What is a dual-scale thermometer?

What did Gabriel Fahrenheit invent?
The Fahrenheit system of temperature measurement. Actually he invented the thermometer.
What are the numbers on a thermometer called?
Temperature is shown in thermometer is shown on a scale. So, we can call the numbers as simply: scale-readings.
What item is used to measure temperature?
A thermometer is used to measure temperature. It typically consists of a bulb containing mercury or alcohol that expands or contracts depending on the temperature. The scale on the thermometer then indicates the temperature.
What is the least count of wall thermometer?
The least count of a wall thermometer is typically 1 degree Celsius or Fahrenheit, depending on the scale used. This means that the thermometer can measure temperature changes in increments of 1 degree.
Is mercury used in food thermometer?
In a mercury thermometer, a glass tube is filled with mercury and a standard temperature scale is marked on the tube. With changes in temperature, the mercury expands and contracts, and the temperature can be read from the scale. Mercury thermometers can be used to determine body, liquid, and vapor temperature.
