Fahrenheit is used for non scientific work almost exclusively in the USA, and a few other countries including Belize and somewhat in the UK and Canada.
Celsius is used for virtually all scientific work.
Both scales have their benefits and shortcomings.
Celsius is intuitive with the freezing point of water being 0°C, and the boiling point of water being 100°C. And, it is helpful when all the units are interrelated, so it takes 1 calorie to raise 1g (or cc or ml) of water 1 degree Celsius. Kelvin uses the same scale, but uses "Absolute Zero" as the starting point. It is particularly useful to think of temperatures in Kelvin when dealing with the Ideal Gas Law.
However, the big advantage of Fahrenheit is that it deals with temperatures that are "normal" for our environment. So, 0°F is awfully cold. 100°F is awfully hot. And for much of our country the temperatures rarely go out of that range. 100°F is also considered a cutoff for being febrile...
I suppose it is all what one gets used to using. And, one could learn to change over relatively quickly (except that all the thermometers I have already read in Fahrenheit).
What else can I help you with?
What is better Fahrenheit or Celsius?
It depends Celsius is used in most part of the world and Fahrenheit is only used in USA.
What is the scale for on a thermometer?
The C is Celsius and the F is Fahrenheit. On a Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and boils at 100 degrees Celsius. On a Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit and boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit because Celsius is used world wide and Fahrenheit is used only in the U.S.
Which is better Celsius or Fahrenheit why?
Celsius is used in far more places and is compatible with kelvin.
What is body temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit?
98.6 degrees in Fahrenheit 37 degrees in Celsius
What is cooler 12 celsius or 12 Fahrenheit?
12 Fahrenheit is cooler. This is because 0 Celsius is 32 Fahrenheit. Also, -40 Celsius = -40 Fahrenheit.

Does Europe use Celsius or Fahrenheit?
Europe primarily uses the Celsius temperature scale. Fahrenheit is rarely used in Europe.
What is the formula used to convert Celsius and Fahrenheit?
To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit . F° = C° × 9 ⁄ 5 + 32.
What scales of temperature are commonly used?
Celsius and Fahrenheit. Celsius is metric.
What 2 scales are used on the thermometer?
The two scales commonly used on thermometers are Celsius and Fahrenheit. Celsius is commonly used in most countries outside the United States, while Fahrenheit is predominantly used in the United States.
What formula is used to convert fahrenheit to celsius?
The formula that is used to convert Fahrenheit degrees to Celsius is take the Fahrenheit temperature, subtract 32, then multiply by 5 and then divide by 9.
How did you get 23.8 for what is 75 degees Fahrenheit in celsius?
This formula is used to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius: [°C] = ([°F] − 32) × 5⁄9
What is 36 degrees Fahrenheit?
36 degrees Fahrenheit = 2.22 degrees Celsius.
Which is the hotest Fahrenheit or Celsius?
Both Fahrenheit and Celsius are two temperature scales. 00 Celsius = 320 Fahrenheit 320 C = 89.60 F therefore 320 C > 320 F that is this comparison indicates if the same number is used in both the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales, then the Celsius temperature is hotter.
What two standard scales for measuring temperature?
