Where does celsius and Fahrenheit came from?

Answer 1

The freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. The conversion formulas: °F = °C × 9⁄5 + 32 °C = (°F − 32) × 5⁄9

Answer 2

Anders Celsius, a Swedish astronomer, created his temperature scale in 1742.

Fahrenheit (symbol °F) is a temperature scale based on one proposed in 1724 by the German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), after whom the scale is named.

Answer 3

Both are temperature scale but there range is different. Normal celsius scale is from 0 to 100 and fahrenhite from 32 to 212.

To me, Celsius makes much more sense 0 being freezing and 100 being boiling, but doesn't Fahrenheit sound cooler. I mean, come on 'It is cool outside with a temperature of 72 degrees.' It just sounds so much cooler.

Degrees used for thermometers. Fahrenheit is used in the US. Celsius us used everywhere else in the world. I think Fahrenheit is also used in other parts of the world

Answer 4

The fact i know is that a Sweden astronomer or something like that profession type of person named Andres Celsius(1701-1744), in 1742 discovered the Celsius Measurement. Whereas another German Physicist, named as Daniel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), made an accurate thermometer for the first time and tagged Fahrenheit measurement too. Another person named as William Kelvin discovered 2nd thermodynamic law and so on tagged Kelvin measurement. Hope this helps. Written by: Rohan Vaidya

Answer 5

Celsius is a temperature scale named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1704 - 1744) who developed the original form of the scale two years before his death.

Answer 6

The Celsius temperature scale is based on the freezing and boiling points of water, with 0°C as the freezing point and 100°C as the boiling point, as defined by Anders Celsius. The Fahrenheit temperature scale was created by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, who used a different reference point by setting 32°F as the freezing point of water and 212°F as the boiling point.

Answer 7

Anders Celsius, a Swedish astronomer, created his temperature scale in 1742.
